Good Sunday Morning Cali!!!

Hi Kelli,
How are you doing?  I am now 5 weeks out.  I am having trouble eating and learning how to find out if im full.  I just have to learn to slow down and take one bite every 5 minutes. I have 5 kids so I always had to rush my food, so its gonna take some getting used to.
Im still a little sore inside, not hurt but some discomfort.  I feel great otherwise.  As long as Im losing I am not compaining.  Im just hoping that I be able to feel 100% soon.  If its only 2 weeks since surgery, give it another week.  Try cottage cheese. Next week try a turkey burger that you can fry in water until done and then let it brown at the end of cooking.  put on a plate with a little ketchup, onion and pickle.   Cut it into 4  triangular pieces, eat one triangle,cutting it up very small and chewing very thouroughly . It tastes great and you will feel good getting good protein from food.  I think of my stomach as something that is going to take some time to be able to take in foods it hasn't had yet.  I do drink smoothies ,  I make with 4 strawberries, 1-3oz yogurt and 1/4 banana. put in blender with 1/4 cup skim plus milk, 4 ice cubes and 1 packet of splenda.  blend and mmmm good and your belly will appreciate the real feeling of coolness.  Drink it slowly.  I dont mean to ramble, I just want to fill you in on some of what I had to find out on my own.  Im here if you need me, my email is [email protected].  Write anytime.  Feel Better .  Take care

Happy Birthday Janine and Sue Bee!  CANCERS ROCK!  I too am a Cancer but I start off the month of July! 
Rain?  Send some to us because this weather is just not cutting it for me. 
My doctor finally discharged me last night around 9 pm.  I was hoping to be home much earlier in the day but that was when he came to check on me.  I was delighted to see my lil man.  I am feeling great.  I have been moving around and everything is going well. 
I am tolerating things well and just hoping things continue so smoothly.

Good evening everyone!

My inlaws are still visiting so I'm not about much.  I hope you're all having a great weekend1

I'm exhausted and I'm hardly doing anything.  I would suggest everyone waiting 2-3 weeks after surgery before having company.  I'm taking extra naps and still feeling tired.  More rest is in order. :)

Janine I'm so glad you are enjoying your bday this year and what a great start to your day today! Sounds like fun last night and I'm sure fun today too! Hope the rain didn't spoil things  today!
Kind of a rough weekend for me mentally, but I made it through. Looking forward to my drs appointment Wed. with my Neurologist to see what he has to say about my upcoming surgery and to run something by him that sure would explain a lot of what is going on with me!
Hope everyone had a great weekend! Sure looks like a lot of fun was had by many OHers!!!!  Us Cali OHers really ROCK!!!!!
