Still alive and kicking

 Hi all,

Just wanted to drop a note here and say that I am still alive and kicking. I have been working hard to get my liquids, vitamins and proteins in every day. It still isn't the easiest thing to do, but it is getting easier every day.

I go back to see Dr. Brader and my Nut. next week. I believe I am in line with the goal that Dr. Brader set for me when I saw him at 2 weeks post op. 

My wife and kids have been really supportive and are excited by the changes in my body. I might soon have to start telling my wife to keep her hands to her self !

Thanks to all of you for your words of encouragment recently. I really appreciate it.

John,

Congratulations on your progress and on the changes that you're starting to see already.  Great job!

The nutritional part of this becomes easiER over time - the challenges posed by it seem to change rather than go away completely.  But there definitely is light at the end of the tunnel.

John,
Congratulations on all the changes.  Aren't they amazing!!!!!!!  I remember when my hubby had his surgery it was amazing. Everyday I woke up next to a different man  Good thing his voice and beard remained th same......

Thta's great to hear John! Glad you are doing well. Keep up the great work!  Ps don't forget all that pawing from your wife is some good calorie burning exercise hehehe

Wow I can see it in your face already!! Honestly didn't recognize you on your new avitar so you're doing great!! Enjoy all the attention from your wife - it won't be long til all the ladies are throwing admiring glances your way!!
