I'm a LOSER!!!!

Surgery on 9/22, not too bad, I had a great doctor (Dr. Kenneth Jones) and great hospital staff. Surgery on Friday at 7:30 a.m. and went home Monday at 3:30 p.m. Doing good, except I am tired of soup!!!! Just started to sleep in the bed, and wake up to turn every 2-3 hours. Pain not so bad, you guys clued me in soooo much!!!! I have lost 19 pounds!!! Thanks to all, talk to you soon!!! Hugs Billie

Welcome to the loser side!!! I'm glad surgery went well for you and that your doing good!!

Christie, Thanks so much!!!

Welcome to the losers bench! When I got tired of soup. I made gumbo, strained it and had the broth part of it. Yum! Take care and drink lots of water!!!!Bejai!

Bejai, Thanks! I am going to stop and get egg drop soup from the chinese restaurant and drain it, that is what is sounding good right now!!! I can't make gumbo for the life of me, tried several times!!! LOL Billie

congrats to u for being a loser !

thanks so much!!!

Congrats!!! Have you tried s/f popcicles? anything that melts to liquid should be ok. Cindee

Thanks, I have tried sf popsicles, they leave a bad taste in my mouth, but I am doing it!!!

Congratulations on becoming a big loser! Soup stage - this too shall pass quickly. It seems like just yesterday I was sipping soups. It seemed forever before my surgeon let me have mashed potatoes and gravy. I had my first on Thanksgiving last year! Mmm, what a treat!!! Now life has pretty much gone back to normal except my serving sizes have been cut in more than half. The funny thing is most of the time I don't miss the extra food I no longer eat. I'm happy with my new size 8's and the WOW's everyone sends my way. Truely loving life for the first time in my life! Peggy B.
