Linda,

I'm back from the lap-band conference in Dallas.  Met some wonderful and inspiring people, heard some interesting speakers, and learned some new things, but I'm glad to be home.

Just before I left for Dallas I heard from my congressman, who was supposed to be helping to motivate the VA to increase my mom's Aid & Attendance benefits.  All he had to report was that the case is still under review.  Heck, I already knew that.  And we're out of money NOW, so tomorrow I'm going to meet with the administrator of a cheaper assisted living facility nearby.  It costs less than half of what the current place costs, but there are no single rooms or private baths.  I hate having to move Mom, but I'm desperate at this point.  She doesn't qualify for Medicaid (her income is too high).  I don't know what else to do.  Can you tell I'm a little frustrated?

B:  1/2 packet weight control oatmeal made w/ skim milk, banana, and PB2
S:  6 oz yogurt
L:  3 oz cottage cheese pancakes
S:  1 oz Muenster cheese
D:  2 oz chicken, 2 oz oven turnip fries
S: 4 oz SF pudding

Hello all,

I got in one of my "before surgery" walks this afternoon.  It didn't kill me and so I think it will be my after surgery walk now for awhile then I will have to enlarge my territory again.

B:    3 tabl spoons scrambled egg plus 1 table. baby oatmeal

Lunch:  3 tabl LF cottage cheese and 1 tabl. baby pears

S.  2 tabl. baby turkey, 2 tablesppons baby carrots, and 2 tabl. mashed potato.

Plus 3 1/2 cup protein drinks during the day and many beverages.

I'm thinking of going to solids on Wednesday, the Dr. said I could try it.  What do you all think????   

I'll be curious about how the solids do for you Jeane.  My doc makes us wait 4 weeks post-surgery before eating any solids, but I am doing so well with everything else and I want to have some chili!  It's freezing here, and I know it has lots of protein. I would also love to eat an apple without mashing it to smithereens.   I am seeing my nutritionist tomorrow.  I'm curious to see what she says before I see my doc on Thurs for my 1st post op appt.  If you do try solids, be sure to take small bites and chew chew chew...then chew some more!

I have also been wanting chili and was thinking I would make some turkey chili about Wednesday and try a little of it.  I will let you know if I love it or I am very very sorry!

Take care!

Jeane 

I hope you love it!!  I would hate it if you ended up being sorry...that would spoil you for later.......Good luck!  and chew it good.

I will ma**** up really good on my plate before I even start to chew.  I am just going to try to eat 1/4 cup.  I'll let you know how it goes Wednesday night!

Jeane

Hiya, if your doctor says yes,and you feel ready,I would start out very slowly, with one food. I remember with me,things had to be very moist,I do not know if you are the same.
..smile..I wish you luck, and please let us know how it went.
