You take them both and there you have. Now it's stuck in my head. Damn it! That's what I get for being witty.
So here is the update; day three. I continued the liquid diet for sheer fear of no being able to consume semi-solid (let alone solid) foods. Damn! What if the Dr. was right? What if it was too big an jump? Whatever, I had a 2 cc adjustment when I had first had the surgery. What's a .7 cc adjustment right? Well, you all read how day two went (not exactly stellar). Day three was better. I had my shake this morning and I didn't block (Hooray!). I followed that up with a Grande, non-fat, vanilla latte. Then at around 10 or so, I had cottage cheese (which I ate beyond slow). I was kinda excited and shocked that I didn't block with that. Granted it was almost room temperature (and chewed and consumed at the thoroughness and pace of a turtle). So I felt good going into lunch. I had more pea soup with crackers. Once again, I ate at the pace of a snail. It took me over 30 mins to consume 1/2 a can of Habitant pea soup. However by the end of that 30 mins, the soup was at best tepid and I was eating a cracker. Well it blocked. I vomited the cracker and last spoonful of soup and felt much better.
I got home and we had Tilapia, ratatouille and potato kale cakes on the menu for dinner. I figured what the hell. Ratatouille will go down easily and I can try my luck with the fish. Well, ladies and gentleman, I was successful!!! I think I ate maybe 3 oz of fish and 1 cup of ratatouille!! It was the best meal ever.
I hate the liquid diet. You spend your time not quite feeling satisfied. I mean I get a full feeling, but I am hungry way faster and more so than if I had eating solid foods. I guess in order to continue with my success, I should stick to soft foods. Maybe by the weekend I can have solid food. We shall see!
