Ok, so I went to the doctor Thursday and he said everything seems good and that I can start the full liquids and every Friday after go to the next diet stage. Well....I know I haven't been behaving the way I should as far as the diet perspective goes, but I feel so much better. 2 days before I was supposed to, I started sipping protein shakes, I felt great and the little left over pain from my incisions completely disappeared. So I've been on full liquids for 4 days now and I decided since cottage cheese is considered full liquids(I don't get that) that I would try it. It went down so easy and I had no trouble. I started thinking "what's the difference between cottage cheese and eggs??" So, for breakfast yesterday morning I had 1 scrambled egg very moist textured. I nibbled slowly, gave my belly a chance to investigate, I didn't get any pain or nausea, so after waiting 5 minutes I decided that I was ok to continue. About 25 minutes later I had officially eaten 1 whole scrambled egg without feeling sick nauseous or over full. Of course I won't go on to sample any other soft foods just yet, I'm satisfied with the ability to eat an egg. I have eaten a scrambled egg 3 times now and I feel so energetic compared to just one week ago. Now by no means am I saying that just anyone can do this because I'm sure that everyone's belly is gonna react differently than mine, but I just wanted to share that things do get better.
