I'm home!!!

 Hi everyone!!

Well, it's official...I am a LOSER!!! My surgery was uneventful and went well. I'm not as sore as I expected to be, so that's definitely a plus. I've graduated from liquids to pureed without a problem, thought I'm already wondering how I'll ever get 50 grams of protein in everyday! I've been focusing on liquids and have been going to town on sugar free popsicles. So far everything has gone down without any problems. I just got home this evening so I'll start fresh today with the protein shakes and I have some protein bullets, so I'll see how close I can get to 50 with them.

Thank you all for the well wishes. I'll be talking to you all soon!

Hugs,
Brandi

Hello Brandi...

So nice to see you home well...and that your surgery went perfect.  I just got my date and am very excited.

Take Care and hope to hear from you soon!!

Hi Violetta!!

Welcome to the Maryland Board!!  I LOVE your name - purple is my absolutely fave color!!  In fact, it seems to be so for many girls here!!

I know you're excited about your date - I've heard nothing but good things about Dr. Kligman's skill and expertise.  He's tough on his patients, but rightfully so.

We have a great group here, so I hope to see you jumping into the fracas!!!!

Keep us posted, please!!

Hi honey!!  I already posted some suggestions to you on the 3 Things post, but I just wanted to reinforce that you need to take your time and not expect too much of yourself too soon.  Your body has undergone a major trauma, and while it's shedding the weight, it'll also be healing, which is why protein is so especially important right now. 

Just do your best, write everything down and focus on the liquids and protein as best you can.  If it seems hard now, just take heart in the fact that it will become easier and it will become a whole new way of life for you!

Hugs,

Tia

Brandi - Welcome home and to the Loser's Bench!!  Don't get too frustrated about not getting in everything right off the bat.  You'll work your way up to it fairly quickly!
