HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY TO YOU, TOO, ROBERTA!!! I am doing pretty well, although I do seem to be in a "food rut". I eat basically the same foods everyday. I also eat a lot of cheese, which I'm sure isn't that great for me. However, I was never a big meat eater prior to surgery, so opting for meats has been difficult for me. Since I haven't had a problem when I do eat chicken, I probably should eat more of it. I do usually manage to get in my daily required protein and fluid amounts, so that part is good. I weighed myself at a friend's home on Super Bowl Sunday, and I was down 55 lbs.....yahooooooo!!!! My husband and I will be going to visit hometown friends this coming week-end, and I hope by then, that I have reached the 60 lb. mark (fingers crossed!!). Course, our friends wouldn't be able to tell the difference between a drop of 55 or 60 lbs, but it is something psychological for me!! I have also gone down several sizes, so that is the really good part......well, for the most part, anyways. Last week, my husband and I both removed our coats in the car, and when we got to where we were going, I reached back and put on a coat. My husband said he didn't need one. Anyway, after about 20 minutes, it all of a sudden dawned on me, that "my" black coat didn't come down to my calves the way this coat did.......yup, I was wearing my husband's big ol' coat!!! Of course, it cracked me up!! BUT......so many of my clothes are now swimming on me, that I really never noticed that my husband's coat wasn't mine.....it was just one more big ol' piece of clothing!! From now on, though, I am going to make sure that I wear only MY big clothes and not my husband's!!! Continued good luck to you........ *Kam*

I am loving sashimi after surgery. ESPECIALLY salmon! I find the tuna to be too "grainy". I had a horrible experience eating miso soup soon after my sushi - i got horribly sick. I had a tiny bit of the sushi rice (I couldn't resist) and with the 7 slices of shashimi i had (fairly large pieces, about 2 or 3 oz total), my tummy was just too full for the soup. So I ed at work. Fun fun. Bethany, miso soup is also a great source of protein!! Just don't eat it after sushi. hehe!
