I just felt normal for the first time since surgery! Yay for homemade soup!

My surgery was almost 5 weeks ago, but due to several complications I'm just now being advanced to mushy foods...very limited one's at that. Tonight I went to visit with my parents and they had made a big batch of vegetable beef Soup. I decided to double strain it and have some of the broth. I did, and OH MY WORD it was delicious. It felt so wonderful to taste food that was familiar to me. I had forgotten how much I missed that. The Protein shakes are getting old and when I have broth or strained can Soup it tastes just like the can..bleh!

Yay for my mama's soup!! I'm going to bring out the crock pot and I see lots of soup in our future.

I know just how you feel, I almost died and went to heaven when at about week six I had some of my mama's homemade chile colorado. My nut would probably have frowned at my eating such spicy food, but hey, I'm a Mexican girl! Arriba 'rriba yihaa!!!, here's to feeling normal again!!! (I've seen you on the boards and was worried about you, thank goodness you are on the mend.)

Hey Whodat,

So glad you are doing better. You certainly did have some struggles. I hope they are all behind you.

My husband loves to cook Soups and stews so he's probably going to really enjoy my first month or so post-op. Too bad it's going to be August, might be a little warm for all that soup!

I am doing much better!! This is the first full week since surgery I haven't had to be admitted in the hospital. I'm so thankful to be feeling better!
