  I had my RNY operation Monday, It all went well, probably because I was asleep anf not telling how to do his work. Iwas pretty amazed at the process and especially how little discomfort I had. The Abbott team and staff were all great. 
  I had no problem getting my water down, but prefrred to melt small ice cubes as much as possible.
  The most important thing I have done was to follow my doctors instructions. I feel pretty good already (but may feel worse when I get off the hospital's pain relief medication. Hope to feel good enough for the Sat morning get together.
  I am very thankful for Nicole G. for coming by twice to encourage me!!

Paul,

I'm so glad things went well for you.  It's great to hear that you are having very little discomfort.  You take it easy and rest.  It will take a lot out of you just to heal, even without the diet change. 

Best of luck to you, and don't rush to this weeks coffee feeling you have to.  We'd be glad to see you, but only if you're up to it.

Take it easy,
Nicole

Woo hoo!  You did it.   Now to enjoy the journey.  With the ups and downs, it's still a wonderful journey to me.

Paul,

I'm happy to hear that surgery was uneventful!  Looking forward to seeing you once you're up for it!  If you need a ride to coffee on Saturday be sure to post and I'm sure one of us can pick you up.

Hope to see you soon.

Kristy
