3 Weeks Post-Op

I can't believe it's been 3 weeks since surgery! Nothing much has changed since last week, except that I can smile a LOT more now! I'm still on soft foods but luckily I've been able to find a lot that I can eat. One of my favorite recipes that has really been helpful with getting protein is crock pot chicken.

For the chicken, you just put a few chicken breasts in the bottom of the crock pot, and cover them with a container of chicken broth (the large boxy ones, not a can). Then stir in 2 packets of taco mix! Low for 8 hours or high for 6 hours. When it's done, shred with a fork. The chicken gets so soft that it's really good for someone on a soft food diet such as myself.

One thing I've also been doing is eating baked potatoes with sour cream, crock pot chicken, and avocado on top. It's been very hard getting any vegetables because most of them are very tough, but avocados do the trick. I've also been drinking looooooots of Jamba Juice. That place is a life saver.

Anywho, that's the update. Eeeeep look at my smile! This whole thing has been SO worth it.
