She may make some signature healthy dishes now... But you're right, it will b hard, I know if my aunt did this- she would flunk flying colors. Food is so important to her. It's the dinner table that bonds her family and friends. But sometimes it isn't the act of eating- its of serving and bringing together. Having everyone happy and her feeling useful. My g-ma cannot cook to save her life, never could, but she will clean and do every dish in the house to contribute. As long as aunt has another outlet, she'll be ok. Maybe the psyche doc and nutritionist will see

You'll be fine, get on ur clear liquids!

Can I come live with you... You'll do so great! See ya on the other side

Most surgeons give a relaxing agent before you go in... Ask and make sure, you won't care if the janitor wheels u into the OR

I get usually about 400, but always less than 600. I keep a track to get into the habit or if I have a problem. I use fitnesspal on my phone... Very convenient

Omg- id kill four midgets for some Mexican food right now. When I'm on solids- shrimp fajitas... Minus the shell...

Make sure u got ur shaker bottle, blending device, vitamins

Yes! I would kill for a taco or French fries... And Chinese... But I hope not being able to have it will hopefully make me stronger in the future, when I am able to have it, I may not want it

Oh, love, it's ok, you just went through a big thing, your body, your hormones are trying to figure out what's going on. I usually say, I'm pretty sure I can have it, but I will check with my NUT that held all my nutrition classes and make sure. Don't worry though, I don't think she'll butt in again since you told her.

Call and ask if they do have something sugar free. Maybe they'll have something good, just be careful.

*unlike* but today is a new day. Confession is good for the soul- no get out and walk all those 10 French fries off

Woohoo! Go girl!

SLEEVEMEUP- I knew all those were a scam but one day, we will invent the cure of stretch marks and be bajillionaires

Eeeee! That's so exciting. I know that approval was the worst wait for me! But when it came through, I felt invincible! Congrats!!! See you on this side soon

Everyone says a must is to get a blender- I say add a crockpot onto that list.

My nut gave me some work on the five stages of grieving and at first I didn't understand. But I do now, it was like losing a close friend, that I loved and relied on. One that was always there and has been taken from me, by my own doings. Keep your chin up, find comfort in exercising and meeting people and going to a support group.. Just wait on the husband to come around. You are a beautiful woman and unfortunately u need time to heal and come to the new you (I know I hate things that take 'time'!) you'll do great, love

Aaaaaahhhhhhh!!!! So exciting!! Good luck, you'll do great!

I love this post! At first, I was like, what? But I read on and you are so right! Congrats!!!

Congratulations! You so deserve it, love!

That is SO exciting! I am happy for ya, and can't wait to be on that side myself!!!

I didn't. My insurance didn't require it.

That is so exciting! You truly an encouragement for me

I know yogurt has some protein in it that makes milk more tolorable, and my NUT pushes yogurt a lot, so I can see that having a good effect on being able to drink milk

I'm right with you IMP, it tears me up to waste food, not eat everything on my plate! We are always taught to clean our plate. I try to half my things before hand if I can't eat a whole something (like yogurt) so I end up under eating because I can eat 3/4 a cup of yogurt, but by splitting the one cup of yogurt in half, I eat less, and have some for later

I was a bundle of nerves, but you have worked hard and this is something you will not regret!
