Food Glorious Food

Finally something besides a shake. I am so excited to be able to eat again. Wasn't supposed to start until today but did eat last night. And I haven't felt this good since surgery, I think it was the milk in the shakes. I have felt this chest pain like a burp waiting but now not so much. Grits this am but on 2g of Protein so I added an am snack of yogurt for 6g and that only puts me behind 7g from where I like to be in the am.

:laugh:

Ah, yes-- I remember how much I was looking forward to eating some cottage cheese during the last few days of my liquid phase. Anything that I could use a spoon with made me happy! It's so funny....

Same here, just to be able to chew, even if it wasn't really chewing! I was just so tired of just swollowing my food!!! Soup is good, but man you need some real food every once in a while!

Eight more days until mushies for me! I'm already composing the sonnet in my head over my first bite of...well, anything really. I'm doing remarkably fine on liquids but I won't lie, the sound of grits, cottage cheese, yogurt, mashed potatoes - it all sounds so wonderful!

I kinda love that I'm "detoxing" my body from food in a way, and then slowly reintroducing the things that I love that are healthy. I just feel like I'll be able to appreciate the little things that much more, rather than just eating quickly and in the biggest portions possible.
