Update

Hello, everyone...sorry I haven't been posting, but I went back to work last week on Thursday. I am doing much, much better. The nausea is better. I'm getting in fluids. I'm still working on protein, but I'm getting there. This weekend was really nice. We went to some friends for dinner. She went all out, and of course, I only had a little bit. I did have some pork tenderloin (because it was so tender) and some squash casserole. I chewed VERY well! I think I had like 3 little bites of pork and about 2 tablespoons of squash casserole. It was nice to sit with everyone and eat, though. Today, I cooked...well, kind of...three meals. We had eggs this morning, crackers and cheese for lunch and chicken pot pie for dinner (I didn't eat any of the crust). So far so good. I went for my 2 week check up last week, and she said food was o.k. as long as I chewed VERY well and it was really moist. So, that made me happy. I'm just glad most of the nausea has gone away. I do have to eat a cracker or something before I go to bed and eat something soon after I wake up. But, it is getting better. I have also lost 49 pounds since I started this journey!!! I lost 29 since surgery! I can tell in my clothes. I'm hoping to see everyone Saturday night. We just kind of have to wait and see how things go. Our little boy has a bit of a cold. Thank you all!

OMG!!! You're doing so good! I've been able to tolerate a lot more too, but I think the chewing and moist thing does have a lot to do with it. I'm so happy for you! TTYL Gretchen

Sounds like you are comming along nicely! Keep up the good work, and I am glad your nausea is improving. The world doesn't look as cheerful when your tummy is upset. Kia 5'9" 284/187/155

I am so glad things are going better for you! I am still feeling a little weak. I know its b/c I have to increase my protein. I am working on it! My 2 week appointment is on Wednesday. I am hoping they say I can start to eat something real! I am sooooo ready for it! LOL Congrats on the weightloss! That is totally awesome! Kimberly
