Thanks Sookie. I appreciate your advice. I loaded up my Kindle and I'm taking a ride to Nashua Nutrition for a selection of protein drinks....I don't want to buy a big ol' jug until I know what will taste good.

Had my barium swallow today. Dr said he is surprised any solid food id going down. He said liquid was barely dribbling through my band. I'm meeting with him Monday to discuss surgery options.

Topic: RE: Emotional Eating

Hi Eric -

I use Acupuncture, Reiki and Reflexology as tools..I find these helpful and centering. This week I took a class: Weight loss and Hypnosis, which was kind of like guided imagery. It was very relaxing and I also found the breathing to be helpful....for me a good mindful eating tool is to use focused breathing when I eat!

I agree that mixing the holistic wellness work with he medical and exercise has been a good combination for me so far. Plus it helps with everything else in my life that is stressful.

Have not yet done Yoga...I am a little shy because of my current size and have the same flexibility issues...let me know if this works for you.

Take care -

Well, I am not sure what you will be eating when you get home, but I had several types of protein powder and the Sugar Free CIB (carnation instant breakfast). Don't go overboard as your taste may (most likely will) change. I made sure I had a good book, not that I read while in the hospital, you need to walk as much as you can. Listen to your body !!! Do as much as you can but don't go crazy. Drop me a line if you want to chat

Topic: Surgery Date is Almost Here

Hello! I just wanted to take a minute to check-in and introduce myself. I've been going through the program at CMC and my surgery date that was originally 2/15 was just rescheduled to 2/3. I've been reading your message board for a couple of months and I'm really impressed with how you all support each other. I have a sense that the minute I'm post-op I'll be looking for support. I'm sure there are a lot of questions I'll need answers to and you all seem like a great resource.

Any suggestions for me now....anything I should be prepared for....anything I should take care of?

Dave:
Congratulations on your one year anniversary and your accomplishments this past year. It has been amazing watching your changes and your growth within your new self, I couldn't be any more proud of you. It's nice to know that your new healthy body will help you to be around to watch Munch grow into manhood, being with him is the best gift you could ever give him.
And yes, you have been a major inspiration for me starting and continuing my journey to a new life. THANK YOU!!
