WOOOHOOO!!!!
Just wanted everyone to know about my great day. It actually began last
night I had an omlete with bacon and cheese and I ate almost all of it. The
meat of the bacon didn’t bother me which was amazing. Then to top
everything off…I went to Boston Market after work to try something. I got
the turkey and some mashed potatoes. I ate the turkey and a nibble or two
of the potatoes…..of course looking at my plate you couldn’t tell that I
had eaten anything…but I ate alot of the turkey and it went down fine and
I didn’t get sick. In fact…it’s been 20 minutes since I finished eating
and I feel WONDERFUL!!!!! This is truely amazing because I’ve only eaten
meat a few times since my surgery (1/18/02) and it has never stayed down but
about once or twice but I felt awful afterwards. This past week I’ve really
been feeling good and have been trying some new things. I’ve been able to
eat some pork & bean without any problems, now the omlete with bacon and the
turkey. I know I need to take it slow and gradually work things in…but
I’m so happy I can’t wait to try something else.
Well, I just wanted to share my happiness.
