Hey....I'm from Boonsboro...if you'd like to chat drop me a line!!!

Well hello Boonsboro!  I'm actually a newcomer to Hagerstown after spending 3 hellish years in Fredneck...before that I had 9 years in downtown DC.  So how's you?

Hey no busting on Fredneck..dude..... LOL

LOL JEN!!!!  If you knew where I lived in Frederick you would understand why my three years were hellish (I lived on key parkway back in those apartment complexes behind Frederick Towne Mall....UGH!!!!  it was such a good community when I moved in and then it quickly went WAY downhill)

OMG.  I worked at the Fredericktown Mall at Kauffman's Wedding World, part time job.  I know those apartments!!!

you know that was such a nice area a few years ago.......but I had my last straw when I found some guy passed out in my stairwell.  That was when I had enough and started looking for a new place to live.  Now I'm living in the lap of luxury in a 3 bedroom 2.5 bath brick townhouse in Hagerstown off of Robinwood drive.  I have my own driveway and it's my little slice of suburbia :)

Do you work from home?

Hi- Breakfast- Cream of wheat S- Protein shake L- cottage chesse S- 1/4 banana w/ sf jellow D- 1 tablespoon of Mashed potato and gravyand 2 crackers with peanut butter for snack. Lamost got all my fluids in but not quite. Still working on the protein.

Aaron, I'm a tad jealous that you can eat salad, lol. My pouch still doesn't like most raw veggies. I will also say that I still can't do soft tortillas and most bread products, 7 months post-op. Some toast goes down ok, and I recently found out if I take the soft part out of the middle of a bagel, it's pretty darned good.

Kathy, wow!  i guess everyone's body is different!  I wonder if it goes with what you ate pre-op that defines what you can or cannot handle in post-op?  I was a big chicken eater and salad eater before surgery and I have no issues with chicken or salad.  I can also eat really crispy vegetarian bacon.  It's tasty and it mushes up really good.  I have issues with the sausage patties though.  Maybe I should eat the real thing instead but I find that the vegetarian versions pack a little bit more protein in and less fat.  But as soon as I swalloed that first bite of tortilla, my pouch almost immediately went into convulsions.  Like someone had punched me in the gut LOL Well I guess here's to trial and error!  LOL Aaron
