OH HAPPY DAY!!!
Well today has turned out to be great so far!!!!
First thing this morning I went to fill out the application for the apartment. That was at 9:00 when they opened, they told me it would probably take until tomorrow to hear anything. Guess what!?!! They just called and I am approved!!! My lease starts March 31 because of a great deal I got on the rent. If I waited until April 1, it would have been $5 more, so I will go ahead with the weird date because any little bit helps!
Also had a great 10 day follow up with the doc. He is happy with my weight loss and gave me the ok to start trying different foods. His general guideline is if it flies or swims, to try it. So, I went to Giant and picked up a few things that fit this and also some Fage, ricotta and string cheese.
I soft boiled an egg and tried to eat that. I felt a bit weird, so I just ate the white part and seem to be o k. I only ate about 1/2 of it, if even that. But, at least it had texture.
So, lets just hope that things continue to go well. I'm going to keep packing, slowly but surely I'll get it done.

Congratulations on getting the new apartment - that's fantastic!! Now just be careful lifting and packing because you're still healing on the inside more than on the outside and you don't want to do anything that may cause damage in there.
Great news on your follow-up with the doc, too, but like the others told you earlier, take it slow and easy with all foods you try. You may not be able to tolerate real eggs right now - a lot of people don't. Most times I can eat them but sometimes they really aggrevate my pouch - its a constant learning experience.
Packing and moving is a great time to clean out all the old junk, too - old clothes that are going to be way too big for you before you know it!! Have fun with that.

Lisa,
Congrats on the apartment and your progress, just remember to take your time, chew real well and you should do fine, it's a learn as you go process, some foods are easier than others, just be sure that whatever you eat is moist enough.
Take care, Laureen

thanks all. I am definitely going slow with the packing and am trying not to lift any boxes. I really did not expect this to happen so fast. I was hoping for another month, but would have a big S for stupid stamped on my forehead if I didn't take this deal. I am placing the empty box on the floor or on top of another box, where it will stay, and then filling it from there. That way I am just moving back and forth, but not lifting. So far, I emptied almost my entire china cabinet without having to lift anything. I am going slow, I am not on a deadline to leave here so if it takes a bit longer than my lease start date, that is fine.
