Surgeon Testimonial

Brian S. Boe, M.D.
Dr. Brian Boe was very attentive. He made everyone laugh a few times during out initial group consultation. I felt very secure with the infomation he shared with us as a group and also alone in our one on one meeting. I am still pre-op, but am happy with my decision to go with Dr. Boe and Barix Clinics.rn

    Tomorrow is your day! Just remember you are on the journey of a lifetime. Try to enjoy every minute. It may sound weird now, but know that you are cared for and prayed for here, and all too soon this will be but a memory and you will be an inspiration to someone else. I am waiting for you on the losers' bench!

Can't believe how long it has been since my last post

Time flies when you are recovering from surgery!!!

I am still doing very well with the full liquids.  Most of the time I am getting in all of my protein and liquids...  I did add small curd cottage cheese (Low Fat) to my diet.  I can put some salad dressing on it, and it helps me feel like I am eating something real.  I have been having trouble with all the sweetness from the protein drinks.  I needed something with a different taste.  and the texture isn't bothering me at all.

I have started that obsession with the scale.  At around 2 weeks, I started to get on the scale 7 or 8 times a day.  I know it isn't good for my mental health, but at the same time, I can't stop myself.  I think I would normally be going into the fridge 7 or 8 times a day, so if getting on the scale stops me from eating somehting I shouldn't, well, I am willing to take that tradeoff.

We just found out my father has prostate cancer.  He is going to have surgery in the very near future.  My brother died from colon cancer in 2006, so it is rough to have another family menber going thru cancer.  but my father's was caught very early, so he has an excellent diagnosis.
