Puree Heaven!

Who'd a thunk I would be excited to eat baby food again?  So, pre-surgery diet...watery fruit and veggies, protein drinks, sugar free popcycles, sugar free fudge cycles, broth for 10 days.  Then two weeks of full liquids...same as 10 day only I could add strained cream soups, Jello pudding (sugar free), yogart, oatmeal, grits, and cream of wheats.  Then this week on Tuesday I could add puree foods!  What a delight!!!

So my first puree meal was a chicken breast grilled on the grill (2 oz) and a baked potato with spray butter.  It was like having Thanksgiving day dinner!  I was so excited I almost wet myself...really!  I had it again the next day for lunch and it was just as good heated up.  I feel like a toddler putting my food in a blender, but you know it really doesn't change the taste at all. 

Yesterday, I had a bowl of homemade Chili pureed!  Delicious:)  I was suppose to have some for lunch, but forgot it at home.  Now I have something to look forward to tomorrow.  Went out to dinner tonight, I am a real cheap date now.  Channel Inn in Fox Lake is the most accommodating place I know.  It helps that we have been going there for 20 years too!  I asked for the children's burger with blue cheese and no bun (children's burger is half the size as the adult) and mashed potatoes.  She was very nice and charged me the $5.25 for a child's meal.  I ate half the hamburger patty.  I chewed it twice as good since I didn't have my bullet with me and only had a few spoons of the potatoes!  I was stuffed!!!! It tasted like heaven! 

If I can't loose weight now with the change in my system, I never will!  I am not going to weigh in until Friday morning.

Going out of town this weekend.  We will see how that goes.  Probably eat a lot of burgers and mashed potatoes, but that is okay, I am one happy lady right now.  More energy, can think straight and I want to do stuff again::)
