Hi Bear, glad you are doing well. I go to the orientation tomorrow and then call asap the next day to see when I can get an appt. Are you looking forward to the soft foods or were the liquids pretty easy?

Hey there. My appointment was cancelled until today, Tuesday, July 14. It went pretty good. I'm down 30 lbs since July 1. My surgeon said i'm doing really good. I'm still on the liquid diet. Now i have been cleared to the next level, soft foods. I think i'm going to try eggs as my first. My stomach is no longer burning. Actually, i'm feeling pretty good about my journey. Thanks for staying on contact. How are you doing?

Hey Bear, how did your appt. go on Friday? Hope all is well!

No problem. I'm hoping this passes soon. I see my dr Friday as a follow-up.

Hi Bear, I just added a post on your blog... I am still waiting for a surgery date, so no help from me, sorry.

Hey glad to hear from you! Strange they brought you so many options for liquids, are you allowed to have the oj or pudding?
Sooo, how does eating feel? Do you feel full, different, uncomfortable? I hope your soreness goes away soon. Thanks for the update.... MiChelle

Missy, Thanks for your thougts. I made it through it. I have to admit i am very sore. I was hoping to come yesterday, but i got delayed because i had a small fever. I've been playing it safe since my surgery, only liquids. At the hospital, they gave me a full liquid diet, which included milk, pudding, and orange juice. Those i stayed away from. I only ate the broth that they included. I tell you, i'm glad to be home.

I am thinking of you this morning. Hoping to hear from you in a couple days telling me all about it. Best wishes and congrats on your new start. You will be in my thoughts.
