I know I'm a few days shy of the two week mark, but was wondering if maybe I could try sugar free pudding this weekend or cottage cheese or maybe even some fat free refried beans.
Or do I have to wait til two weeks out? The paper my docs office gave us says to state these on the 15 day, no exceptions, but I asssumed that meant don't wait til the 16th day LOL
Thanks!

I know it's tempting...but please follow the doctor's orders. You only have a couple more days. Hang in there, Nicole!!

PS - If you absolutely can't wait...I'd go sf pudding before the other things. Keep it smooth and not anything with texture. Vanilla sf, ff yogurt? But, I really wish you would follow your doctor's orders if you can.

i agree with charlene, if i had to give in on one item it would be the pudding. my doctor told me i could do any exercise as soon as i felt up to it. take it slow and give the wii a try. hang in there, one more weekend until you can add in those additional items.

again, so weird to see the variation among doctors orders. I am allowed to have sugar free pudding and yogurt, ricotta cheese, fat free refried beans all starting week 2. Week 1 is strictly clear liquids then after that for a month is all pureed foods including the items i just mentioned.

My Dr told me last week I could walk on a treadmill. I dont think the Wii Fit would hurt as long as you take it easy and dont rush.

I have a Wii Fit. You will use a lot of different muscles depending on the activity. You might be ok to do some of the activities like the step aerobics and the running in place, but I would avoid the balance games (you use your abs a lot for balance in the hula hooping and you have to squat and pretend to jump in the ski games) and the strength training.

My doc said no exercise other than walking for 1 month. But after that month was over, you bet I started exercising. :-)

    I miss traveling with my husband. Has anyone found a specific site regarding cruising for widow/widowers or any sightseeing trips. Not interested in being with couples and kids,,,I realize a cruise ship will have a portion size of families and couples, but perhaps they also put together a part of the cruise ship for groups of widows/widowers????

    A friend sent this to me..As far as I can see, grief will never truly end.It may become softer overtime, more gentleand some days will feel sharp.But grief will last as long as Love does - ForeverIt's simply the way the absence of your loved onemanifests in your heart. A deep longing accompaniedby the deepest Love some days. The heavy fog mayreturn and the next day, it may recede.Once again, it's...
