Hi all!

I went to my 3 week post op appointment yesterday and I am now on solid foods...FINALLY! I am so excited...I get to chew again!

I am stalled on my weight loss right now...down 36 pounds in 24 days though so I wont cry too much.

Yay Lisa - welcome to your new life with food. Hope everything goes good for you like it has for me so far. You are doing great with the weight loss

Can you believe that the time has gone so fast - you're already and month out and I'm getting close - just a week behind. Has it hit you yet - I'm not sure it has for me. I'm going back to work Monday and I'm worried about my eating there. I'm so afraid that I will go back to not eating all day then being starved when I get home. I know that can't happen and I've been trying to figure out what to take to work. I'm going to get sick of boiled eggs and cheeze and crackers real quick. Sorry, can't remember if you've gone back to work yet. If so how did it go??? Good luck with solids

Carolyn

Hey Carolyn. I am going back to work Monday, too. I'm more concerned with not smoking while I am there then the food problem (We can smoke in our offices and it drives me nuts since I quit for surgery). For food, I have some South Beach bars to nibble on during the day. For lunch, I am thinking chicken salad or something I can just pop in the microwave to heat up. Of course, I'll be bringing my apple nectar extasy protein powder so I can sip on that all day long. I'm actually really looking forward to returning to work.

I tend to want to munch because I am sitting around the house all day doing nothing. At least at work I'll be too busy to think about food! Lisa L. 380/344/170

My first chewie meal was pork loin. I had made it in the crockpot Wednesday and ate it all chopped up Wednesday night. Thursday night I got to cut it into pieces and CHEW! WooHoo! Lisa L.
