OMG I can't believe what I just did...

[Jonathan 5]

I just drank a COLD glass of ICED TEA in about 30 minutes!!! We're talking 12-16 ounces. I tasted EVERY sip.. did you know that tea tastes like something? I had NO idea.

It was delicious. It was heavenly. It was tea.

I did experience my first gas pains... just a little pain spanning from my stomach to my shoulder, then a burp, then it was gone.

I can do this. =) I CAN do this. I CAN DO THIS!

Jonathan, wonderful! I've switched to decaffeinated tea. It tastes the same and won't keep you up at night.

If you think this is good... wait till you can have pudding and thick soups!

Did you say tea or Long Island Iced Tea...LOL

Don't be trying that yet..

[Jonathan 5]

If you think this is good... wait till you can have pudding and think soup!

I had clam chowder today =) 6 ounces or so... the Campbell's Soup at Hand. Believe it or not, it, and any creamy or non-creamy Soup is on my "stage 1" list. And it did go down fine. In fact, to be honest, unless it was just a coincidence, it's what really opened me up. I did have to keep it warm though. Again, thank goodness for microwaves.

Speaking of "Soup at Hand"... is that stuff perfect for us or what? No chunks!

My "stage 2" foods include mashed potatoes, applesauce, and pudding. GOOD TIMES AHEAD! =)
