I understand where your coming from, I have a 2 yr old that her mother doesn't want but use her to get a paycheck. We have joint custody but I have her 5 days a week and every other weekend and I am the one paying child support. But not to harp on that I was just asking if you had gotten a chance to take care of everything that you mentioned.

If you are on a liquid only diet, that should include soups, broths, jello, pudding, yogurt, carnation instant breakfast shakes, slim fas****er, juices etc. I am on that diet right now and man it is hard. But I am also almost done. thank goodness for that. I have 2 more days after today. I go in on Thursday. What has gotten me through it is definitly the creamed soups. I was told to do cream soups. I love the cheese coup and potato soups. They are a life saver. Also for the craveing to chew, I use the hot cocoa packets, empty the powder into a small cup and eat the powder dry, with a spoon. It tastes like pure milk chocolate and kind of curves that craving to chew. I get so sick of drinking everything and this method lets me get substance without drinking. I also asked my surgeon to ok a peice of fruit a day and he said ok. So that helps me alot. Good luck to you and your diet. You'll do great.

Oh what a pain in the .... weighing yourself every week isn't a bad thing, have you had a fill yet? If not, are you trying to keep the amount of food you eat as small as you can, I know I am incredibly hungry right now and waiting for a fill. I hope things are working out for you.8-)

Does anyone know how i can get in touch with Tom Smith who used to work with Dr. Floyd? This is very important to me. Thanks

I'm another one with the same surgery date. Had it done last monday. Hope you're doing as well as I am. I'm not really in any pain and trying to "enjoy" an all liquid diet. I had to stay in the hospital for 6 days due to a set back 2 days after, but they finally let me go home. BTW, isn't Sedilia, MO the home of the Scott Joplin festival? I went one year and had the time of my life.
