Happy Saturday Everybody!!

Well I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend...I'm off to the Christmas Tree Shop with my friend Kat, and we'll hit all the 99 cents stores and stuff..it should be fun...it's my first big outting since the surgery...I was afraid to eat this morning cuz I didn't want to have to go potty while I was out...so I had one string cheese, and so far so good... I don't know what i'll do for lunch yet, this should be fun...but I know it has to be protein first and chew chew chew.... Well talk to ya's later, Much Love Teri

Hi Terri, Hope u r having fun shopping!! I have questions for u, I just got my pre-op paperwork in the mail today and I was wondering who u went to for ur psych evaluation? Im just wondering who to go to because they list 4 doctors thats all. Who did u see for the nutrition eval? I would like to see Leah Spellman but I do not know where her office is. My last question is where do u go for the sleep study? I hope I am not asking too many questions. Shannon

Well I did it...I went out with my water, and we shopped for like 5 hours...we stopped at walts roast beef, I ordered a jr size one and took maybe 3 bites and chewed til it was liquidfied...and I still had to run to the bathroom...it wasn't too bad..at least it was a small sandwich, i didn't feel bad throwing the rest away.... But I had little shrimps when I got home in sf ****tail sauce and it was yummy and they're stayin down....its ok i could live on shrimp lol... Much Love Teri

Teri, Thats cool, it sucks about the food but at least u had fun shopping!! Shrimp is a thing that i could live on too!! The weather was weird today but at least it is not cold out. I also did some shopping today too. just to get outside and enjoy the fresh air. I will talk to u later, Hubby just got home from meeting with cliets. Shannon

hi teri glad to hear you had a fun day! did you eat the bread with the sandwich? how'd that work for you? When I talked with Dr. roye yesterday, he told me nothing except foods the consistency of scrambled eggs. bummer. lol. i think i'm going to make a crab dip tonight.. should be high in protein, so i hope it tastes good. i'm allowed to have saltine's, so long as i make them mushy before swallowing. i can't wait til i have real food. you're so lucky. lol i've got another 4 weeks of mush!!

Kris, I didn't eat the bread, I had maybe 2 thin strips of roast beef and half of it came back up...but what i had was good...I just make sure I chew until its like pureed in my mouth...same as you with the saltines... No I haven't even spoken to the Nut about what I'm eating, Its just trial and error on my part...but I do make sure most of the time its pureed... OOOoh tell me how the crab dip comes out, it sound good..Yumm

Glad to hear that you are ejoying the outdoors Teri, and of course just like my wife "SHOPPING" I admire you and hope to meet you some day. Maybe in the next support group. Take care, Al P

Al, Thank you, I'd love to meet you too....I'll be at the meeting next month!! ter
