I'm back!

Congrats Vickie! The anxiety of waiting is over. You are at the begiinning of  new adventure. It can be overwhelming at times but just keep reminding yorself that it is much like a new job. Every one I ever had was difficult and overwhelming at first. It took time to figure it out and to learn  the new routine. Just make your way softly and be gentle with yourself and your new plumbing. The protein will come along. I couldn't stand the protein drinks for the first couple of weeks. After that I did fine.

Thanks Karen!  I'm on full liquid diet until my post-op appt on Monday, so I know there's not a lot I can do about the protein requirement just yet.  I'm eating yogurt (with protein powder added) and cream of chicken soup (with protein powder added) today.  I'm doing fine with my "meals".  Just a 1/4 cup at a time, and lots of water sips in between.  I'm looking forward to the pureed diet next week. 

And best of all, I'm losing!  Thanks for your encouragement!

Hey Peggy!

My favorite color is BLUE!  I surround myself with lots of colors, but blue is the best. 

You bet I am excited about this summer.  I'm looking forward to spending lots of time on our boat at the lake.  And my husband and I are planning a trip to the Canadian Rockies in June for our 30th anniversary.  I don't know what I might weigh by then, but it's bound to be better than what I weigh now!  :)
