Susan: Can I come and eat at your house? You sound like a wonderful and creative cook. Please keep sharing your ideas and recipes with us. I'm still pre-op, and not a bad cook, really, but I can always use some inspiration. You look wonderful, by the way. Congratulations on being such a success!

Thank you Susan for your post about the "Last Supper." My surgery is coming up soon 3/21/03. Have been trying to decide where I want my last meal to come from. Thanks for the common sense post. I have a very thin tall aunt who is concerned about my surgery. We like to go out and eat together alot. She asked me, how are you going to eat after surgery? I told her, like you! She's much more comfortable about it now! Thanks again for the post....you llook fantastic! God's blessings! ~Dawn~

What great ideas you have for eating properly. I am 10 days out, missing food, on liquids for 2 1/2 more weeks. But I have been trying and trying to think of how I will eat when I can. I had no idea until reading your posting. Now it gave me some ideas to run with. Thank you for touching someone you don't even know.

Susan, I am marking your profile page because I read for a looooong time and was only half finished....and I have to go back and read more! I LOVE your entries....they're like little stories, complete with some recipes and suggestions! PLEASE share some of your recipes with us!! The sugar free pineapple cheese cake and the pina colada protein drink.....so many I should have taken notes! Next time, I will. You know, I and MANY other people just starting out after surgery would pay good money for a book or booklet of those recipes!!!!! Anyway, everyone who likes a good read should check out your profile, also because of your success story! CONGRATS hon, you are now a role model!! And you look fabulous!!!! HUGS! Carol Percel

Thank you so much for your post on the issue of pain on the message board. It really does help to hear people's expressions of what it's really like. Everyone is different but I think that the more information we have about the range of possibilities, the better prepared we are. Also, you look GREAT! What a difference in your pictures! You should be so very proud of yourself. Kate, who grew up in South Florida and went to school in Ft. Lauderdale! :)
