Hey Brenda! I am in So. Calif. 3 wks. post-op, and your diet sounds great to me, I am eating pretty much on the same lines you are, and only walking 1 or 2 blocks each evening. It is still very warm where I live in Ca. so I wait until dusk to walk. I am doing canned chicken, tuna in water, etc. sf jello,popsicles just as you are, and also baked or mashed potatoes. Even a few Ritz crackers with tuna now and then. Also doing very thin sliced chicken or turkey lunchmeat (deli-sliced) and cottage cheese ; so I think you are fine- I see nothing wrong with what you are doing actually. Perhaps you sit all day at your work, and that may slow the weight loss down a bit?? But, sounds to me as if you are on target, so don't worry, and don't weigh too often, I'm only weighing once a month from now on. God Bless,

Well I am home and doing well, a little tired as to be expected. Tomorrow will be a better day, as each day will get better. Surgery went well but I had to be in the hospital longer than expected cause when I had the leak test things were moving thru slowly. But with all your prayers things worked out ok. I would like to thank my angel Jennifer, and also Jeannie (who her and I have kinda adopted ourselves to be each others private angels)for calling and and checking on me during my hospital stay. Jeannie it was great to meet you finally. I am sorry for being so sick the day you were there, but the days after were much better. yippee for that...lol...well i have only had one nap today so i am tired this evening...i will write more tomorrow...thanks again for everyones prayers...Hugs Brenda

I just got back from visiting Brenda at the hospital. She was very tired and nauseated. She had her leak test this morning and things were moving very slowly. She was getting ready to go back down to radiology for another x-ray. We all hope everything goes good for you Brenda!! You are in my prayers. It was so nice to finally meet you.
