1-2 Weeks Out......How Do You Feel Today?

Kristine, Would you like to join our "I-Hate-Jello-And-I-Will-Never-Eat-It-Again" club? We are gaining members every day. I never personally tried isopure......and after hearing what everyone has to say about......I dont plan to When i read your Pureed Homemade potatoe soup sentence........YUM!!!! I just added that list to my "try soon after I'm allowed list". I'm amazed at how much I think about food. EVEN FOOD I NEVER LIKED BEFORE My M-I-L was eating sardines and i was like "oooooh.....if I could only have one little bite of those sardines, my life would be complete" I think this surgery has made me Take care willby

Surgery has defintely made me a bit nuts... I like cottage cheese now and I dream of food regularly!

I am 17 days out and I finally feel great. Pneumonia's gone, I'm off pain meds (except for when I need them for my back), and I'm getting around great. I have tons of energy now that I'm eating "real" food. I do get tired now and again during the day, and I take a nap if I can. I've been very lax on exercise, but I want to start going to the Y every day after I drop my son off at school. They have a rusty hinges water class I was taking all spring. I tried to do the next level up, but it hurt my back too much, so it's just me (34) and about 15 70-80 yr olds. They treat me like a grandkid. I also thought I might give the treadmills a go. My workout pants (26/28) are falling off me, so I went to walmart to buy more yesterday. I'm only 5'3", so they were all like 5 inches too long for me so I ended up with a pair of petite JMS sweatpants. I bought 22/24's and they are a little big. I couldn't bring myself to try the 18/20's because there was just NO WAY they were going to fit. I figured these were fleece and would shrink in the wash. I also tried on 2 pair of jeans size 24 and one was huge and the other I couldn't even get over my butt. It's not like I was going to buy them anyway. I just wanted to see what size I'm in. I found a great plus size consignment shop that just opened near my house and their stuff is really cheap. I figure I'll consign what gets too big and buy smaller with the profits. And the besides finally feeling great, my husband finally went back on his diet so I don't have to smell pizza every other day. It's been a good week so far! Sheryl

WOW! Sheryl, You sound like youre doing great! Wish my husband would go back on his diet. The other night, he was eating pizza on one side of the table and i was crying on the other side. he offered to stop eating......but I said "no....I have to learn"...........but secretly wished he would have choked on a pepperoni Good Luck!! willby
