Not Hungry?

I'm so lax about posting here. I'm almost 7 wks post up LAP RNY and doing great. I'm down 50 lbs. All meat tastes like cardboard to me. The taste and consistency have changed. Bread, pasta, kind of the same thing. I rely on 2 protein drinks a day. I'm trying to up my calories with regular food but find that the stuff I like doesn't have hardly any calories. Go figure! I too have trouble getting my fluids in. One thing I do like. I keep an insulated glass of crushed ice with me all day. I like to "chew" the ice and it melts slowly which doesn't irritate anything. Best wishes to all of you February surgeries. Isn't it nice to be this far out? Looking forward to a much healthier and happier supper of 2005. Take care, Karen

PS Talk about a Fruedian Slip! I did not mean "supper" I meant "summer!"
