Blake??

How ya doing Blake? You eating anything yet?? jean

Wow, this may sound dorky, but I feel really special that someone remembered me on here and posted? Thanks, Jean! Things are great! Thanks fr asking! I had my dilation last Wednesday and have been sipping water/Crystal Light and eating pretty much 2nd stage foods (though I did have cheese off a piece of pizza last night!). I am going to take it slow, get all my vitamins and pills in and just enjoy not spitting in a cup. I am also going back on August 22 to have a second dilation to open it up the rest of the way. I am essentially starting over on foods and going through the levels like i just had surgery since my new pouch hadn't had food in it for a month. I should be getting my G Tube out tomorrow. I'll be at the Mercy Cap support group next week and looking forward to moving forward with tis. P.S. The best part, I actually have the energy to start walking again. I had stopped for a month because I literally had NO energy. Now I can do 30 minutes with no prob.

OH MY GOODNESS!! The support group is next week already??? Are you guys all going? I haven't been in months. Maybe I should show up. jean

I wont be able to attend the meeting until September. Next Tuesday the family is going to the state fair for my daughters birthday. I would like to hope I cant make the one in Sept either (would like to be in the hospital bed) but will let you know later this week on that one. Janine

Glad to hear you are getting back to "normal". I'm planning on being at the support group also.

Glad to here you are doing so much better!!!!!!!!

I'll see you Tuesday, Blake Phil

hows your progress phil?

PHIL! How ya doing! Counting down the days,I'll bet. A week from today, right??? How's that pre-surgery 10 lb thing going?? See you Tuesday!

I've got my presurgery tests this Thursday and my physical and history on the 15th. I'm hoping the pre-surgery laxatives do their magic and get me to the magic weight. If all goes well, it will be the 22nd. Darcy-- will you be at the support group next week? Anxious to see the new you Thanks for asking, all Phil
