I'm back!

Hi Everyone!  Im back at work.  Tonight (I work 5p-5a) is my first night back.  I had surgery 3/17 so it has been exacctly 3 weeks today.  Thanks to all of you for checking on me and for all your prayers and support.  I dont have computer access at home right now so I wasnt able to stay in touch.  I did fine even though I was in surgery for 6hrs due to scar tissue (Im a revision I had a VGB in 1978) and an immediate leak so I ended up with a drain. I am doing great now but that first week or so was a trip! Im still trying to get my mind around this eating thing or should I say this lack of eating thing!!  Tomorrow I start soft foods and I cant even think of what to eat.  I can eat about 1/4 - 1/2 c depending on what it is.  I wanted to especially thank Tracey for offering to visit and be my angel, and Kristie for checking in often.  Keep me in your prayers.

I will always be checking in on you and praying that your day goes well. Try some cottage cheese and applesauce (unsweetened), also refried beans became my friend! It took me time to get my hungry brain in line with my unhungry pouch. It will happen for you and you will think back to what you ate before surgery and be shocked! Live the journey one day at a time and never forget about the "gift".
