Hello, So Friday Nov 19Th I went to my 3 week follow up with my doctor's assistant. Everything seems to be going good he said and said I can start my soft foods phase a few days earlier. I still have the rash from the allergic reaction I had from the tapes. It hurts a lot, mainly annoying if anything. I put a cold pack on it to make the itchiness go away. I'm giving it til' Wed. if it doesn't go away by then I'll have to call the doctor's office and ask what I should put on it. Thanksgiving news: Doctor advised to stay away from turkey.. but i told him the dietitian advised I could, he said he doesn't think I should. So I'm not going to.Saturday I went to my niece's birthday party and that was really tough! Being around all that food and CAKE! I knew I wasn't hungry it was more of a mental thing then anything. I did take my can of soup with me but didn't want to cook it in the middle of the party in front of everyone, so I had some beans from the 7 layer dip they had, of course I took all the other stuff off and no chips , just beans. I was able to keep it down I felt like it was stuck in my throat for a bit, but that passed. I also had a piece of Turkey slice meat, very small and I was able to keep that down too. SO today for lunch I had my husband go to Taco Bell for some beans and I was able to keep that down too.. and I felt full faster then just having the soup. My mom will be making homemade re-fried beans for me on Thanksgiving so I plan to eat that and some steam veggies and mashed potatoes .. I'm just glad I can have soft foods now! lol! Well I Wish all of you a Happy and Safe Thanksgiving! xAndrea
