Thank you to most...

I want to take this time to personally thank you all for your great advice. I am so glad I have this place to come to. Jane -- I want you to be blunt ! I need that. I don't want to fail, I have tried and failed at everything.... and this is not going to be one of them. You are right in everything you and the others said. I didn't have my burger, I had jello and a little pudding later on. I also had some juice (watered down). It helped. I have to find a way to deal with my head hunger and can't wait for this time to pass. As for "chunkier foods" perhaps I should have been a little more detailed.... I mean that I can eat cream soup, so I end up having cream of potato and then mush up the potatos even tho I shouldn't have them. It's not like I am out of control like a certain response made it sound. And in my defense to that person -- I am in no way on here to "sabatoge" other people ! I am here for support just like the rest and feel that I have given as much support and advice as I could and I genuinely look forward to getting some when it is need for myself ! Hence the reason I posted my problem. I do agree that being blunt is necessary and needed but there was a person that didn't need to be so damn rude about it. I have been following the program, yes there were a couple bumps in the road for me... are you saying that NOONE ever has those problems? Well they do and thats why I came here to get back on track. I walk and do as many exercises that I am able to. It's not like I am sitting back just waiting for the weight to fall off. Sorry for my little outburst but that person just irked me a little. and if she doesn't like it then we can mutally agree not to respond to one another. Perhaps this wasn't the place for this but I do want to honestly thank you all ! It truly means alot to me... {{{{{HUG}}}}} ~~Rona

You had potato soup! With chunks of potato?!?!?! Oh no Rona, what are we going to do with you!!!! Don't stop posting questions. All of us post ops live for this, or we wouldn't be here answering the questions. I can tell you're going to be ok. Don't stress.

Yea, I think the WLS police better come get me and put me away before the insurance company cancels all WLS approvals. And it will be all my fault

Wow girl friend some one really hurt you....I am so sorry...some people's kids....Well we all are here to help and to get help...but some people still are on their high horse...and one day will be knocked down....But I agree with you we will all relearn things and find out new things and people are most of the time politely honest...No one can learn from rudeness... If you need to talk do you still have my #?

Hey Rona Ohhhhhh that nasty head hunger I know what your talking about !!!!! For me I had to almost stop watching TV Its so bad with all the commercials..... where your at now all I wanted was a subway sub and I don't even really like them !!!! lol Ill tell you some food that helped were ricotta cheese with just a little tomato sauce warmed up cottage cheese was also a life saver Im not sure if your at this stage yet but when you get there give it a try. I dont think you feel much different then most at this stage.... right now we are battling ourselves and our heads are very strong...remember your head is very strong and youll be fine this is just a bump in the road called life.....lol Before you know it youll be past that 6wk point and afraid to eat anything new...lol sister in WLS Jenny B Wise

Rona, check your messages.

Rona I think most of us knew you were only talking outloud about the burger and you were just being open about your head cravings. This is supposed to be where we can vent and I hope you don't let this whole thing get you down. Keep up the good work with the soft foods and be patient with your brain. You are trying to change a life time of thinking, and it won't happen overnight with the surgery. I know how much the surgery means to you and you are not about to hurt your tool. Keep on keeping on and as the days pass you will be more adjusted and in better place mentally and physically. Your friend Lynn

Gosh Rona....i didnt mean to offend you at all if i am the person you are talking about...i am sorry if i said something that wasnt helpful......please know that you are doing great things and i only intended to share some of the ups and downs i had and still have......so you would know that what you are feeling is normal and we all just have to try to stay focused.......i am proud of you and all of your commitment to this process! sorry again if i hurt your feelings in any way...........hug rae
