This and That.....

Today was the first real day of being on our own with this new way of eating. My friend Barb, the nurse, went to the health food store and brought us several types of herbal broths. I've tried the vegetable and the chicken and they are quite good. My sister went to the store and brought home several types of Crystal Light, some Italian Ice, popcicles, and sherbert. We're all set. LOL It hasn't been bad today really.

I picked the word anticipation because that's what I feel about this surgery. I anticipate good results along with more energy and being able to get off some of my meds.

I'm really looking forward to SOS tomorrow. Maybe one of these days I'll try it. (((HUGS))) to all...

Nice to hear you are doing great! Well, I have known 2 people who tried your surgery years ago...and it did them good...so I'm sure yours will be the same. :)

I hope you both continue to feel well and love your new lifestyle!

How long does the all liquid diet last? And then what happens? I remember you saying something about food having to be chewed so many times--or do you have to puree? Anyway, glad you have some choices during this beginning phase! I'm praying for both of you.

OK, I read a lil ways back in your BLOG, what kind of surgery did you have? And, I AM ADOPTED TOO!! I was adopted at birth just like you, my parents told me at a very young age that I was adopted, it wasn't a big deal to me until I got to be about 14 or 15. On February 14th, 2004 I met my Birth Mom for the first time. I learned so much, and it was a really good experience for me...for the most part. It is a small world.

Have I mentioned how happy I am you put your picture on your blog? Every time I open it, there you are! And I like to see you often--so that's nice.
