WOW!!!!

So I keep hearing about this thing called restriction but I don't think I ever really felt it until now and all I can say is WOW!  After seeing Fhil I noticed the water went down a little slower, no biggie that seems normal.  Then yesterday morning I tried to take my medicine.  I take 4 very small pills that I just pop in my mouth and down they go -- not yesterday!  I tried to swallow them all at once and they got stuck........ you know that jammed feeling in your chest.  That was the first time I ever really experienced it and it's not fun.  The protein shake for breakfast went a little slower than normal and I didn't even want to finish my coffee, Jello was even difficult.  Oh yeah and lets discuss my "liquid" dinner.  When I got home spagetti sauce with Italian sausage was simmering on the stove (2nd time this has happened after a fill) --- this WAS my favorite dinner in the whole world, along with a coke!!!!!  Well, nix the coke and noodles and all you have left is sausage in sauce --- YUM (actually my favorite part) but since I am on liquids nix the sausage...........  Yes, you guessed it -- I had tomato sauce for dinner and it was the best. I kept walking by the pot and eating spoonfuls then I got creative and sprinkled parm cheese on my spoon!!!!!  Crazy huh, but it sure beat another protein shake or cup of broth.  So today I am drinking just liquid and they seem to be going down better.  I had some creamy soup for lunch that I didn't have any problems with but even with that, I can feel the difference!  Tomorrow should be a new adventure --- mushy foods.  I will let you know how it goes :-)
