Hungry Hungry Hippo's!

Man i am getting hungry!!!! Yes, i know i am supposed to at some point, but i mean its bugging me!!! haha! I have already started thickening up my soups, have been having a yogurt for breakfast instead of a Up & Go, but its the time of night like now that i feel hungry :(

On the paperwork i got from the dietician when i left the hosp, it has the stage after liquids, which has a sample meal plan, for the first week it says ....

Breakfast :
Well-cooked porridge or semolina, or weet-bix with plenty of milk
Lunch and dinner :
Thick soup or mashed/pureed veg
Thick custard or mashed tinned fruit, or mashed stewed fruit, or low fat Fruche/yogurt.

So im stuck, i dont know if im still on liquids, or if i am on the next stage or if i am in between stages? i mean dietician said to thicken it up, and have the yogurts but ohh i dont know!! haha!

So what else has been happening? Rental Inspection today, went well, we put down a few things on the maitence report thingy they gave us, like new carpet! we bloody better get it!! i hate this carpet, i can vac and 2 seconds later its dirty again!! and it is BLUE AND GREEN!!! and we have ORANGE blinds :S talk about the 70's!! Anyways back to the story :P as i havent been able to clean really since op, we called in back up this morning when we had 2 hours till the time to go (we dont stay for these) we called in mum! haha! she folded our endless supply of clean clothes that we have been washing (brad was in a clothes washing stage and washed everything) so that was good :)

My steri-strips are starting to come off, and omg they are annoying me!! the port one is coming unstuck from the middle in, hmmmph, annoyance there :P they come off on sunday anyways, bring on sunday!!

Anyways im watching bridget jones! haha yes i know! but i likes it :)

Hey Mel,

How are ya darl? May I offer a suggestion? You know how you are starting to feel hungry? Try and distract yourself as much as you can. When I get hungry like that I go and do something for 45 minutes (read a book, go for a walk, clean, do my nails) and if I am still hungry then I eat.
Are you on mushies yet or are you on liquids still?
