Time for my 4 week checkup-Yeah!
Hey Ya'll,
I haven't really posted here before but I have enjoyed reading the posts and I have talked to NettMet a few times in person. I was hoping to get to meet some of you last weekend but could not make it.
I am really excited to get to go see Dr. H this Thursday for my 4 week check up! Yeah! Stage 3 food!! (not that it is a big change or anything like that!! ) I have been floored with the weight loss, I mean I guess if you don't eat much solid food you will lose weight!! (What a concept), But I have been very fortunate to have had minimal complications and so far all is well.
The only problem I am still having is that since I cant take the pills -- I seriously gag when I have to crush them and try to swallow. I have tried jello, applesauce, and others but nothing seems to help. I am concerned that I will end up with a vitamin deficiency cause I can't keep them down. I do have the sublingual B12, and the chewable multivitamins but all other pills seem impossible. Any suggestions.?
Thanks for listening

I mix my crushed pills in a spoonful of chocolate pudding,sugar free of course. Chocolate does better than vannila to mask the taste. I think I saw you at the hospital the day of your surgery. I was there for my pre op. Maybe we can get together to ride to the support group meetings. I am planning to go Monday night. I will check with Lynette also.

I will try to pudding to see if that helps-- actually hopefully Dr, H will tell me that I can start taking pills again after tomorrow, but if not then I will try it.
Could be that you saw me, I was kind of in a daze that day. Everything waited until that day to hit me the intensity of what I was about to do, so my mind was reeling in a milliion different directions.
I will have to see about Monday - (my son has his Winter Ball that night and I may have to play Taxi MOM for it)
It seems like every time there is an activity/ support that I have something going on. I do really want to go, but my schedule is crazy these days.
Maybe some time we (you, Lynette & I ) could get together for coffee or something, I went to see her today but she was busy and I never got a chance to go back to see her this afternoon. I am just glad that things are going better now.
Well gotta go for now
Talk to you again soon
