Dovie, just wanted to wish you well on your upcoming consultation. I do hope everything goes as you wish. I have asthma so I know how scarey it is not being able to breathe and how tired you can get when you can't breathe. Best wishes and god bless.

Dovie, Thank you for your words of encouragement. Now let me encourage you. Know that you will be in my prayers as you journey to the surgery and beyond. Know that God is able to do abundantly more than we can ever imagine. I had to find a surgeon that I could entrust my life to and who had a good track record with the surgery. I pray you find the same thing but know that God's ministering angels go before you preparing everything. Find ways to put your nerves at rest and begin to walk right now in the mode of being on the losing side. I mean begin chewing your food till it is liquid then swallow. Pay attention to what and when you eat. Make your meals last at least 30 minutes. Drink as much water as you can pump into yourself and if that means travel with a full water bottle then do so. If you don't already begin reading books on the Personal Promises of God to encourage and strengthen your heart. Find and talk to others who have had success with this surgery. Through my browsing this website I have read so many stories which kave simply inspired me to not give up and to remind me that there is another way. Dovie, you can do this. Like you told me do what is best for YOU and no one else and once you are true to you that's it!!!! Please keep me updated on your journey. Blessings and Peace, Veronica

Dovie, thanks for posting back...I was always a bif meat eater and it was a bit hard to get used to at first. I started buying tuna and deviled ham, canned Sue Bee chicken. I added boiled egg, a bit or relish, and low fat Miracle Whip. I would mash the meat up really well with fork or would through it in the food processor with the egg for a few secs to make sure it was pulverized well enough. Thick beef stew, ground up was very satisfying and so was refied beans w/ cheese and chili with cheese a bit later on. Now I can eat bacon, chicken breast, lean hamburger, pork chops, roasts...2 oz at a time, tiny pices, chewd like crazy...but I get my meat. It takes a bit getting used to but its not so bad. Good luck!!!
