Bread is not a good thing. For some reason, I decided last night that a piece of toast sounded really good. Keep in mind that I'm supposed to only be eating pureed food, right now. So, I made two slices of bread. Not even good bread. My children won't eat high fiber bread so we only have cheap-o white in the house. Alex was happy because he walked in just as I finished it so I gave him one slice. I munched on the other slice while I prepared a smoothie. The toast was good. Not wow amazing, good, but good. I made a chocolate/banana/strawberry smoothie. Packet of high protein chocolate shake mix, packet of high protein banana shake mix, 1/3 cup dried non-fat milk for added protein, one banana, 4 strawberries. Yum!!! Took a couple of sips of the smoothie. Then poured half in a glass and put the rest in the frig for later or the next day. Went upstairs to relax for a while.
Started feeling a very tight sensation in my chest. Very tight. Had to go throw up. Well, apparently, the bread got stuck. Everything I took in after the bread came up. On the plus side, puking now is nothing like puking before. You just don't have enough stomach to do it. It is more a matter of helping it back up. So I got to do that for about 45 minutes. The only issue was that it hurt my side even more. So, I'm back to taking it very easy for a few days. I have to keep reminding myself I'm only 4 weeks out of major surgery. If I worked outside the home, I wouldn't be back at work, yet.
Otherwise, I'm doing very well. Having no problems staying away from sweets. I know they will make me sick. So, not even tempted. What I'm having cravings for is Diet Coke. But, knowing what the carbonation would do to my tiny tummy, I won't chance it. And, as my therapist says, when I actually can have it, a long time down the road, it will probably taste nasty!!!
