Two days ago I started pureed/soft foods. I've had scrambled eggs, deli turkey, yogurt, Ricotta Bake (from http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com ), and pear. Tomorrow I'm thinking about refried Beans and guacamole. Obviously the amount of food is very small but it's better than just liquid and gives me hope for the future!

I had surgery on July 5 and Auntie Flo came to visit on July 7 the day I was to be discharged. She just dropped by for the festivities, I guess. She wasn't supposed to arrive for a week! Sooo...that was fun...

@@Shaunie I was down 6 pounds this morning after 2 days. I'm sure it's water and whatever, but it feels grrrrrrrrreat!

I'm also scheduled for July 5. I'm on day 3 of the shakes. I had a headache most of day 1 and half of day 2 but not today. I'm not a coffee drinker but low/no sugar causes my brain to quiver! Haha! @@Shaunie It's funny, but I'm not that hungry either. I blended my chocolate shake with 3/4 cup strawberries and a few ice cubes tonight for part of my supper. It was really good! It gave the shake a different taste and I enjoyed it a lot!

You people inspire me!! Here's the short list: Being a healthy role model for my children Intimacy Running - as soon as I can I'm going to run EVERYWHERE sleeping soundly No more plantar fasciitis (see running) Hiking banana Republic Liking the woman in the mirror taking silly selfies with my daughter that show more of me than just a corner of my forehead and one eyeball dancing HAVING ENERGY to run, walk, dance, hike and do a million other things that exhaust me just to think about right now Getting seriously fit

July 5...my Independence Day!
