So far so good!!! I have not pureed anything just making sure it is soft and I chew, chew, chew. I have had 3/4 oz of tuna w/mayo and 1/2 mozz cheese stick (ate it like 3xs yesterday). 1oz chilli with hamburger in it, it stayed down but I do not think my system was quite ready for the spicy it hurt a little.  Laughing cow cheese ( 1/2 oz). Not sure what I am trying today....Thank you Suzy!

Oh good, it sounds like progress to me !  Let me know about the surgeon's visit !!

The horror of what I had done to myself happened in December of 09,  On thanksgiving I thought I had hemmoroids but it was so bad that I could hardly walk, sit or do anything but sleep. I talked to my PCP and he said that I might have deep vein thrombosis and to come in and he would do a procedure to relieve the pressure and pain.  When I got there and was on the table he took one look and called a surgeon and sent me to her office,  I got to the surgeons office and she examined me and told me that she would have to do emergency because I had an abcess.  I was in surgery for about 2 hours, the surgeon told my family that if I had waited a few days longer I would have died.  She told me that she had never in her career had she seen such a bad abcess, she said that the amount of puss she got out of my butt and inner thighs was enough to fill a soda can.  What caused this? Diabetes, what caused the diabetes, my severe obesity.  I didn't want to die and i was already in the process of the 6 month diet for the surgery but I was thinking about backing out.  So glad I didn't:)
