So today's the day. I'm starting the day off with a Protein Shake. Then for lunch I bought babybell cheese. I've been dreaming of cheese. So I'm gonna try that out and see how I do. If all goes well for dinner tonight I'll have salmon.

So today didn't go as planned. It was a coworkers in office bridal shower today with a catered lunch. So for lunch I had 1.5 meatballs (very soft they melt in your mouth) and 1 piece of mozzarella cheese. 1 slice of provolone cheese. 1 slice of peppered ham and 1 slice of pepperoni. Ugh such a failure for the soft food. Felt a little sick after but it passed. I made sure to chew very slowly. Tasted so good though.

Oh also 2 sips of champagne. When I say sip I really mean tongue dips. It did not agree with me at all and I poured the rest out.

Wow - you were lucky - I would have barfed in the buffet if I tried that

Yeah I can count on one hand the amount of times in my life that I have vomited so I didn't think that would be my particular vice on this journey. I get nauseous and may get diarrhea but yeah vomit is rare.

Anywho I had the salmon for dinner. It was delicious. I ate too much of it though and felt it so I stopped. Did feel a lil nauseous after though. Had no room for the vegetables. Had a lick of mashed potatoes.

I did notice that now that I'm on foods I have to be very diligent about my Water intake. I think I had maybe 20oz of water yesterday. So my goal today is to get that water back up. My mouth feels really dry today too.

So today I had a Protein Shake for Breakfast. I say breakfast but I started drinking it at 8 and finished around noon. Then around 1pm I had lunch which consisted of 2 babybell cheese, 1 slice mozzarella cheese, 1 slice of provolone cheese.

It was good. But actually the shake this morning was making me feel nauseous. Not sure what that's about since it's the Premier Protein I always drink and I drank it slow.

My NUT says eat what you can in thirty minutes and then, stop.

Hello, I'm glad to hear you are doing great despiste the circumstances you had to deal some days ago with your Ex and dad.
Just wondering if your doctor advised you to eat those cheeses? If i were you, im not sure I would eat so much cheese.

Yup. The only things I can have during this phase are fish, cheese, eggs, and shakes. So I'm getting my cheese on.

Be careful with the cheese and pain meds can cause Constipation and that is not cool.

Oh thanks. I'm not in pain meds though. I stopped them the day after I left the hospital. I'm not big on medication like that.

[Litecaramel 58]

So I'm thinking I'm going to switch away from Premier Protein. This is the second day where it's mad my stomach feel sick. Like nauseous. Ugh.

[Litecaramel 58]

Ok so I'm struggling with the Water now. I can't get the 64 oz in anymore. Ugh. The weekends are especially tough because I'm so busy doing running around I forget to drink water then I feel it later. Take today, I had a couple of spoonful of eggs for breakfast, a Protein Shake for lunch, and a piece of cheese for snack. I was also running a bunch of errands and before I knew it it was 5pm and I hadn't taken a sip of water all day. Now because of how long it takes me to drink water there's no way I can get in 64oz before bedtime. I'll be lucky to get in half that. My throat feels so dry. Ugh. I'm of course drinking water now.

I am firmly in regret phase. I ask myself a few times each day why did I do this to myself. I think it has to do with moving from liquid to soft foods. Yeah some new things opened up to me but my limitations with food are even more revealed it seems.

For example I had the inside of a fish taco which was a nice soft white fish. Tasted delicious. Couple bites in and I knew there was no way I was making it to the other taco. Later on I attempted the other taco which was shrimp taco. Big mistake. 2 shrimp in and I felt sick. Like I had to cover my mouth and bend over concentrating on my breathing sick. Meanwhile everyone around me is eating sausage peppers and onions sandwiches, chicken fingers and French fries, crepes, and ice cream. Everything looked and smelled so good. Why did I do this! I'm so tired of not being able to drink Water at a normal pace!
