Sorry to be so blunt, but it sounds like you need to evaluate this further.

My only regret is that I didn't do this sooner. I regret that I watched life pass me by for far too long.

I'm so happy that I did this!!

Hey Kim,
I agree 100% with you and I haven't even had my surgery yet! I wish I would have started the process along time ago, Instead I let my 20's and half of my 30's slip by and now I am ready to redeem my time, I might not get back those years wasted away in the frigerator but I will get my health back and I feel better just thinking about it.

Suezq, that is what it's all about! Health and the chance at life again!

You're going to do just fine!

Kim,

I wish I could, after asking Meaghan, I realized I hadn't really viewed the forum much and found your knitting bee gathering.

Sorry to have to miss it, I am trying to go to Bridgets on Sunday, how about you?

I'm thrilled that I'll finally get to meet you. I'll be at Bridgets coming out party on Sunday! Now that made me smile today!

Well at 7-weeks out there are time I say why bother when it comes time to eat. Especially breakfast it doesn't make sense for me to make 1 egg. I can't eat bread yet so no toast. Yogurt works once in awhile. Even my partner says goign out to eat with me is not fun anymore cause inevitably I will order something and can't eat it. I just eat some of his. I am still learning what I can and can't eat for example I was craving a salad at California Adventure so i got a salad with fresh albocore tuna. I took one bite and got nasueas OH well took it back and got my money back and got some soup. I have no regrets even thought at times it can be frustrating figuring out what to eat.

Carl,

That is what I fear I will be like. Talked with DaleM about this today actually (thanks for your advice Dale!). I'm afraid I won't want to eat when the time comes... like I'll want to stick with protein drinks instead. I guess I'll find out soon enough.

I sometimes , o.k. most of the time, do not have an appetite, but I know that it is very important to eat. This is the healthy approach and it helps me to know that I can control my own well being. Since I did all this to be healthy, than I know I have to eat and make good choices with what I eat. Protein veggies, fruit then carbs!!

It is a way of life....healthy life!!

Once I eat the protein I can only get a few veggies or anything else down. I have to eat other things just to spice things up a bit. I only eat when I know I need to. The hard part for me is a lot of the time I don't keep it down. i just ate out tonight had some egg drop soup ( couple spoonfuls), 2-shrimp, BBQ Pork 2 pieces. didn't keep any of it down. Guess its cream of wheat tonight.
