I survived!

Last night my family all went to an all you can eat buffet. I ate before I left and brought my SF kool-aid to drink. AND I MADE IT!!!!. It wasnt even that bad. GO ME. Then today my sis and the kids had Hardees(the best fast food ever) and I ate my egg. Boy I may actually get used to this.

Yea! I can't wait to find out what it really means to say, "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels." Hugs, -Marcie

WOOHOO! I'm so gald you are doing so good!!!! Me on the other hand, I'm having a hard time already... I'm so sick of liquids and its only been a week. I have about 1 or 2 more weeks to go until I can go to stage 4 (pureed & soft foods) I hope things get better. Kelley

My sympathies, Kelley. I can't stomach the protein drinks anymore. I'm lucky that my doctor advocates a faster progression to soft solids. Good luck, Jen

I have been where you are. I was on liquids for two weeks. I thought I was going to day after 4 days. It does get a whole lot better. I can live with this. I am on soft foods now and in two weeks I get fish and the week after that I get chicken. I cant wait for some meat. LOL Stay strong you will make it. LaDonna -22

THAT'S REALLY GOOD. I'M ONE WEEK POST OP AND YESTERDAY, MY 1ST DAY OUT OF THE HOUSE, I WENT TO MY FAVORITE PLACE "WALMART" WITH THE KIDS AND THEY ACT LIKE THEY WERE STARVING. THERE'S A MCDONALDS LOCATED INSIDE SO WE GO IN THERE AND MY HUSBAND GETS THE KIDS HAPPY MEALS AND GETS HIMSELF SOME KINDA BURGER MEAL AND BOUGHT ME A YOGURT PARFAIT ( I WASNT HUNGRY SO I TASTED THE YOGURT, TASTED LIKE IT PROBABLY HAD 0 PROTEIN AND 100 GRAMS SUGAR) SO I BROUGHT IT BACK HOME AND STUCK IT IN THE FREEZER. BUT TO THINK, ABOUT 30DAYS AGO, I WOULD HAVE GOBBLED DOWN A DBL CHEESEBURGER WITH FRIES AS A SNACK. THIS SURGERY IS REALLY GONNA CHANGE MY LIFE FOR THE BETTER.

I hear ya on that one. Yesterday I went to Target and on the way home hubby stops through the Burger King drive thru. I thought I would be in the car crazy wanting some Burger King, but actually the food smell made me SICK!!! I couldnt wait to get out of that car smelling all that grease!! I think I can do this too!! ~Nicole Open RNY 3-9-04 -31 pounds

LaDonna!!! I am so proud of you that you are able to control your old habits and do so well!!! I just hope that I have as good control that you have!!! Have you noticed that you are having any mental cravings?? Or is it getting easier as the days go by? I am deciding on a name for my soon to be pouch. Got any ideas??
