<p>Lesa--my feet have been super swollen too........I was worried about it affecting my surgery, but my surgeon said that unless I start seeing red splotches that everything is ok. Of course now my eyes are playing tricks on me, but Im still going in on Monday.</<p><p>I am so happy your going through with your surgery. I am sure it is a common thing for people to question whether or not to really have the surgery. I did that much early on, also Im sorry I didn't respond when you where going thru all that, but things have been really hectic, I hope you understnad. I will be praying for you and I know you will do just fine. Love you my Alabama friend Maureen in TX

sf popsicles, sf pudding, "cream of" soups ... I'm still in stage 2, full liquids, so I use a lot of skim or 1% milk to mix my puddings and soups. Also, you might consider broths for stage 1 - clear liquids. I found beef broth intolerable, but chicken broth - yummy! At Walmart I found EAS vanilla whey protein ... it's not TOO bad. If your doctor's program is similar to mine, clear liquids will zoom by (one week), and you'll be ecstatic to get to full liquids, but then it seems to absolutely DRAG. I can't wait to move on to pureed foods, lol. Good luck on the smoking ... I know how that goes, being an ex-smoker only because I wanted this surgery so bad. *hugs* Ginger (open rny 6-10-03)

Dear Lesa, It'ss me again, Your non-smoking buddy, Rosemary. I know how hard you are trying to quit. Just remember, "What do you want more, the cigarette, or the slim you of the future?" That is what made up my mind. I know that you can do it and I am praying for your success. Love and Prayers and God Bless You Rosemary Schuff

Gosh, I didn't realize just how much support I have from this site. To everyone who responded to my depressing response earlier today, thanks from the bottom of my heart. I will get to each individually asap. I didn't work today and was able to not have a cigarette from Sun night at bedtime until tonight at 6:00. I had two and they didn't taste very good. Maybe tomorrow will be better....maybe I won't have any. Yall, please pray for me that I will be successful with stopping smoking this try. Going through with my surgery (6/30) will be contingent on me quitting smoking. I would love to find an angel for myself. Anyone who is up to someone who needs lots of support, please e-mail me. I love this site and appreciate all the wonderful people who always seem to be around when you need them most. ((((((HUGS))))))) Lesa
