More and More Normal :)

I've had a good last few days, eating different kinds of things, albeit very small portions.  Water still makes me somewhat nauseous, and I hope this really does change over time.  I've been concentrating a lot on school and know that I have work coming back in the next few weeks.  I thought my return to work day would be April 16th but I believe my doctor is pushing it out one more week.  I will be confirming all this when I see him next week.

I got my chewy caramel supplements from Bariatric Advantage this week.  OMG 5000% better than the horrible chalky mint disc things I was supposed to have been eating lol.  These are the same flavor and texture of little caramel candies.  Yummy :).

My next order of FitFrappe protein powder was shipped today and should arrive by early next week.  I love that stuff!  The lady I ordered from is sending me extra free samples of the vanilla latte just because she's cool haha.

Lots of school work to do tomorrow and Saturday.  I want to get as much done as possible so I can spend some time with the family on Easter Sunday.  I am not worried at all about what they are serving since I am pretty much able to tolerate everything.

We went to Cooper's Hawk tonight to celebrate our friend Danny's birthday.  It was SO GOOD <3  I had the lightly seared/broiled scallops again but this time I subbed out the weird tomato relish and roasted cauliflower with mashed potatoes and sauteed spinach.  It was heavenly!  I even had a SUPER small bite of a white chocolate covered strawberry.  When I say small bite I mean SMALL.  It was good, though :-).  I brought a lot of food home as leftovers and will be enjoying it for lunch tomorrow since I plan on heating the scallop up under the broiler to keep it moist :).  I think tomorrow I am going to make boneless pork chops in the crock pot.  I need to find a good recipe for them.

My scars are healing nicely, and I am noticing my skin sort of becoming a different texture on my stomach.  I assume from where I have lost weight.  It isn't gross or anything - just different and something to get used to.  All in all I feel stronger everyday and am nearing the end of the initial healing process.

I spent part of the day today with my friend Patrick.  I really do miss that guy.  He comes off as this kind of bitchy hard ass at first, but when you get through that "shield" layer he has up he is such a sweetheart and a great friend (he was Gameboy's prior owner [our dog]).  He told me a lot about stuff going on in his life and WOW it seems like a lot of drama.  He's living with friends of ours now and it is a much better situation than what he was in before, so that's definitely good news :-).

Well, that's all for now - time for bed for me zzzzzzzzzzzzz Q_Q

Make healthy choices peeps! :-D
