You almost HAVE to buy shoes off the internet.
My son (age 15 and still growing) is now in size 14 men's shoes, and I gave up looking in stores. I got some great deals at www.eastbay.com for him that he loves, in addition to his football cleats. Eastbay can be a bit expensive, so I always go straight to the "outlet" section.
Your dip sounds really good, but I would skip the Ritz and maybe eat it with a spoon or on some celery (I personally prefer the spoon.....). Lots of protein!!!!
I'm also a bit envious that you can have chili so soon------I was on pureed for 6 weeks!!!

My doctor said clear liquid one week. Then full liquid for a week, then puree for a week then soft foods (Chili) for a week. Then week 5 starts anything as long as you chew it to pieces.
The Ritz do scare me a bit, but I did suck on a single Pringle's for about 10 minutes until it was mush. But the crackers do scare me right now. The spoon is my choice too, but little baby bites.
I actually buy most of my shoes off E-Bay. I have got some really good deals.
Paul, where are you in school? MCC? What are you studying? I am in college too, so I was just wondering. My sister is starting MCC this coming fall as soon as the financial aid goes through.

I actually find crackers easier to eat than softer foods. I think that is because they crunch up to a very fine powder. But see what works for you. I will be starting training at Solex Medical Acadamy for massage theripist certification in the evenings. The school is located in Wheeling. I already have a degree and am currently the national IT manager for a rental linen company.

You will find a good use for those gift cards soon ..... you will need new clothes! It is amazing how big your clothes become. The hardest thing I have is convincing my family of my current size. My Christmas gifts were 1-2 sizes too big even yhough I told them what size I was. At least one sister realized her mistake when she saw me for the first time since surgery. It is hard to even wrap my head around the size of clothes, So ... save those cards!

Hello Paul and Illinois
I am in slow mode today. I still am home with the flu and am tired of having my stomach hurt any time I eat or drink. But it does wonders for breaking plateaus!
I slept in until almost 11 am
I did wake up and decide I was still to sick for work, reset the alarm to call in and then went back to sleep again. After I called, it was back to zzz land.
I am moseying along on the net and Fluffer is sticking to me like glue. Thanks for all the well wishes. I still cant believe that he is home and does not seem any worse for the wear except for the clinging. I take it he has learned his lesson.
Paul, you have done remarkedly well. I am sure you will get those last 20 lbs off soon!
Randy, I hope you aren't getting sick.
Connie, enjoy your remaining time off.
Dawn, enjoy the concert tonight.
Janet, you have your exciting surgery coming up! That will take some more lbs off!
Dee, your what to eat is a great idea.
Have a good day everyone!
