HI JAN!!!! I AM SO HAPPY AND EXCITED I AM AFRAID I WON'T BE ABLE TO SLEEP TONIGHT!!! I THINK I WILL WAIT TO GET ALL MY VITAMINS AND PROTEIN AFTER I SEE THE DIETICIAN ON TUESDAY JUST SO I GET THE RIGHT THINGS!!! I AM GOING TO FOLLOW THIS TO A T!!!!!!!!!!!!! I AM SO READY FOR THIS I AM NOT AFRAID AT ALL!!!! THANKYOU SO MUCH FOR THE ANGEL TO WATCH OVER ME!!! HOW ARE YOU DOING SINCE YOUR WLS?? HUGS JUDY

Hi Judy....I'm doing great! Thanks for asking! Although I did have my first dumping episode last night. I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and I ate too fast and overfilled my pouchie. Was quite amazed at the 'projectile' vomiting. Believe me, I won't do THAT again.....small bites.....chew, chew, chew....and wait awhile in between bites! I learned my lesson well!!

OH NO!!! THAT IS ONE THING I AM SO AFRAID OF DOING!!! THE OTHER IS PASSING STINKY GAS AT WORK!!! I AM GOING TO BE SO CAREFUL WHEN I EAT AND DRINK!!! SO GLAD THAT YOU ARE DOING SO WELL!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK!!! HUGS JUDY

Hi, I was just reading your response to Judy and I had a similar episode today!!! They aren't lying when they say eating too fast can be painful. I thought I was going to end up on the floor. I ate too fast and the food got lodged in my esophagus. I drank a lot of water trying to either pass it thru or throw it up but I couldn't throw up so I had to suffer thru it. You're right when you say "CHEW CHEW CHEW AND WAIT AWHILE BETWEEN BITES!!" Take Care, Rachel

HEY I AM GOING TO BE SOOOOO CAREFUL WHEN I EAT....I DON'T WANT TO GET THAT WAY AT ALL!!!!! I FEEL SO BAD FOR YOU HAVING TO GO THROUGH THAT!!! HUGS JUDY

Hi Judy, I'm so glad you got a date. You'll do great!! Yes, that was a painful experience but now I've learned to take a bite, walk away, chew it until it's almost liquid (smile) then walk back and take another bite. Today I baked a sweet potato and then squirted my Smart Balance butter spray and put some garlic powder on it, it was soooooo good. My 2 yr old kept eating it, she loved it too!! It's hard to find things to eat that are satisfying these first few weeks.

MMMMMMMMMMM THAT BAKED SWEET POTATO SOUNDS REALLY GOOD!!! I WILL HAVE TO REMEMBER THAT FOR LATER!!! THANKS FOR THE IDEA!!! WISHING YOU LUCK ON YOUR JOURNEY!!! HUGS JUDY

WOW Judy, you are 8 days ahead of me! So glad that you finally have a date! We must keep intouch being so close, we can cheer each other on. I go to the dietician on wed, the 4 and then I will maybe know a lot more for the 11th when I start my fast. I too, am ready, and starting to wonder if maybe I am doing the right thing, and then I come to my senses and say YES YOU ARE! Any way, great to hear your news. Ann

I WENT OUT AND PRICED THE PROTEIN AND I FOUND IT STARTS AT $11.99 AND THE DRINKS ARE $3.00 SOOOO WHEN I FIND OUT WHAT I NEED I GO SHOPPING NEXT WEEK!!! I AM NOT AFRAID OR SCARED OR ANYTHING FOR HAVING THIS SURGERY....I ONLY PRAY THAT I CAN HAVE IT DONE LAPROSCOPIC!!! THIS WAY I WON'T BE OFF WORK TOO LONG!!!! AND YES YOU ARE DOING THE RIGHT THING!!!!
