I'm back!!!

Hi family, It was not as hard as I thought it would be. The people at the hospital were very very nice and thinbgs smoothly. I am back at work today. My mom is still having a problem excepting everything I have done. Everytime she sees something on tv she tells me that I'm going to die. She is trying. Well DX E was wonderful. My mom felt better after talking to him. I remember getting a glimpse of him (I was still drugged). Thank you for everything that you have done for me. Also the diet part is the hardest part. I was never really hungry, it was more of ready to get back to where I was before the surgery. I hated the clear liqud diet. There was no variety in your liquids to me. The full liquids is going o.k. I only stay on this until the 28th of this month then I move to something else I hope food again. I also need soem help finding the protien drinks. I like the atkins shakes but they are a little pricey. Are there anymore recommendations?

Bridgett, I am so glad you are doing so well. You know the rest of us are quite jealous that you had Dex for your angel!!! He's a sweetie!! As far as the protein drinks go, I think they are ALL pricey! Have you tried Susan Maria's site bariatriceating.com? She has all sorts of strange and interesting flavors...I've not tasted any yet, but do have a couple of samples and I know that she taste tests them so she knows which are good, etc. Keep us posted!!! Smoochies & Hugs Arlies

Hi Arliss, How is your progress going? Have they set a date for you yet? I don't remember hearing anything about it. I have been doing well since my surgery. I thank the Lord everyday. I will try your suggestions about the web site.

Hey Bridget! Great to see you back up and going. It gets easier each day. I use GenSoy flavorless protein powder and add about ½ a scoop To milk in a blender and some times add it to soup. It's not too pricey. The no sugar added carnation instant breakfasts aren't so bad either. Arlies is right about bariatriceating.com Susan has a lot of different flavors and price ranges, I think even Free samples. Send me an e-mail if you need anything. Best Wishes- Dx

Hey Lady B, Glad to hear that you are back and all is well. I do hope that everything continues to go that way for you. And as far as your mom. Bless her Heart. When she says something like that to you - just grab her, hug her and tell her that you love her too. Keep us posted.
