Topic: RE: Hi, new to the boards!
Thanks for the warm welcome everyone!
I'm still about 2 weeks out from my first appointment but I'm going to head into Tufts tonight and take in the HOWL & New Patient seminars. I figure its never too early to get as much info as possible. I'm sure I'll have plenty of questions after that.

Topic: Back under the knife!
To celebrate my almost seven years post op, I get to have surgery. 
I am having exploratory surgery on Wednesday to find out why my lower intestines (or something in that area) want to climb out and strangle me.
This is not what I anticipated for 2011 at. all. and I can ONLY HOPE that it's the start of a better stretch of good luck, because, I have had quite enough.
Send good thoughts, swing a chicken, whatever you do, on Wednesday afternoon. Thanks.

Hi :) Surgeon Sister!
First off - congratulation on the weight you have lost so far. Losing 110lbs is no easy feat. I tried the 5 day pouch test and made it until day 2 LOL. This does not shrink your pouch but is designed to get your mind back on track.
Day 1 & 2 - pure liquids (water, broth, protein shakes, Jell-O etc...the same stuff we had in the hospital.)
Day 3 - soft foods; eggs, tuna, soft fish etc.
Day 4 - ground protein: chicken, turkey, beef, fish etc
Day 5 - solid protein: chicken, turkey, beef, etc.
Good luck .. I hope you will be able to get back on track. Depression can be tough... I'm starting to get there myself. I was a very depressed person before surgery and have not had one of my major boughts of depression since surgery (12/16/09) but I feel one coming on.
Please let us know if you need support
