11 days out from surgery appointment today!!

I went to my Dr. Office today at Southern Surgical and had my staples removed. My Dr. was not in, he was on a trip and one of the nurses took them out and said they looked very good and I could try some soft foods now but to be careful. That was wonderful to hear. I also weighed and I have officially lost 12 lbs since the day of my surgery, which was June 6, 2008. I could not believe I had lost that much already. I was expecting maybe five lbs at the most. I was so happy. Well let me go it is time for a meal and I think I will try a little applesauce with protein powder in it.

 Sounds like you are doing great! Good luck with food. I go in for my surgery in the am .

Good luck with your Surgery tommorrow. You will be in my prayers!!!

Congratulations on the first of many pleasant trips to the Dr's office. Isn't it nice to look forward to getting on the scales at the Dr's office instead of dreading it?!

Enjoy!

That is great!!! Keep up the great job!!!

Yay, Angie!!! James has eaten a little bit of soft foods-- some potato soup and tonight I got him mashed potatoes. He said just having "real food" makes him feel better. Of course it is only a small amount. He is still doing the boost and PP for protein and just eating a bit in between "for pleasure". Do you feel better since you got the staples out? We may go later in the week or he might wait until his official 2 week appt next Monday. Glad you are doing well and I hope to see you soon!

Congrats! That's the best feeling in the world isn't it? It only gets better from here. The day they told me that I could start soft foods, I went straight to KFC and got some tators. They were the best mashe tators I had ever ate!!! Good luck on your new tasting adventure!!
