Hi deb, I had my surgery also on 1/5 and am doing pretty good! I feel like I want to eat something mushy! I havent though.. I'm so tired of popsicles, CIB, and yogurt! I for some reason cant stomach the thought of pudding?

WEll hope to hear how your doing?

I have NO complaints having my surgery at Wilford Hall. It was great the staff Dr.s Nurses everyone was so kind and helpful!

I had my surgery the 5th of January at 8am and was home by 6pm on the 6th! I recovered very well!

As far as the nutritionist, I would talk to them and see if a Jenny Craig, Weight watchers something else would be an acceptable program!

I did lose a few pounds with the nutritionist NOT ENOUGH !!!

The 6 months does seem like forever but it goes by fast!

Talk to you soon!

I was told No mushies till after two weeks! Grrrrrr.. I would l love to eat some Malt o Meal, Refried beans, string cheese, hummus, cottage cheese? SOMETHING other than soup, CIB, BLahhhhh I did for the two weeks before I'm so wanting a little something to CHEW! So I'm sure you feel the same!

I have no problems with anything so far! So are you waiting to weigh yourself? I couldn't resist! Well talk to you soon!
