Hi Everyone, well today was not so good, I got out of bed, didn't sleep good because nights are the worst; lots of acid and stomach pain.  I walked into the living room got water, took my Zofran for nausea, back to bed until noon.  Felt much better.  Then the usual, restroom, brush teeth, get on the scale (kinda like playing the lottery) wondering if I maintained my weight or lost weight.  Bad news, lost a pound.
So, go to kitchen, protein shake, drink it. water, then I got a recipt for soup yesterday from http://www.crystalrome.com/ and decided to try her sweet potatoe puree soup.  Load ingredients into the Ninja, this blender can puree a tree :) 3-5 minutes later seperate portions, warm up my first portion, add a little sea salt for flavor, the remainder in containers and into the freezer.  I ate my portion, very yummy, natural and kept it down. not sure of the calories but tons of vitamins, all fresh, natural, great for my nutritional needs.
Frozen yogurt 1 cup, more water, water is always available and necessary, have to stay hydrated. Oh by the way, at this point, I cannot drink gatorade, burns stomach like fire, back to water and protein shakes.

I would have to say that at this point, im 8 days post surgery procedure of botox injections into stomach through endoscopy, my GI DR. is following me, no visits necessary, he is booked until October anyway, we keep in touch via email or phone calls to his secretary of my weight, any changes in condition or diet. 
I am still on all liquids nothing that has to be chewed, but i did eat a half of avacado yesterday. I know it sounds crazy, but it was the  best thing ever!!!:) 

My goal at this point is to stay positive, maintain my weight, remain healthy, seek nutritional recipes and continue to BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF PRAYER AND HEALING.
Blessings to all who read this and if you suffer from Gastroparesis Syndrome, DON'T EVER GIVE UP!!!
