I walked along the Lake to the beach this evening, it was soooo relaxing, Chicago is so beautiful in the summertime...and for dinner I had baked catfish and green beans, although I ate just a little, it was satisfying and it didn't get stuck, for dessert I will have sugar free popsicle...today was a good day.

Today I was able to eat one turkey sausage, Yayyyy..

I hope all goes well and get answers to your questions, keep us posted regarding the salad, I haven't tried it yet, but I love salads.

I do understand, this is way I have to start over with liquid a few days after each stuck episode, to give your pouch a break from the sock...My last episode lasted 48 hours. Feel better.

These are pictures I took at work today. Everyone at work telling me how young I look, it feels great to be 43 years old, Blood Pressure normal, no more GERD, no Sleep Apna, Acid Reflux, no ashma...Thank you Jesus. This picture was taken today...65 more lbs to go to reach my goal. This pic was taken before surgery.

In my area, we have a high end thitft store, nothing but name brands, if you have one in your area that would be a start, why pay a lot for clothes you will grow out of...check it out.

I will be 8 weeks out come this Monday and this Monday will be my first day back at work, I'm back on liquids because I tried to eat a shrimp this past Monday, it got stuck now I'm back to liquids for a few weeks, I'm beginning to think I'm having a problem with eating, I spoke to my nurse today and he said my stomach is right and if this continues after 12-14 weeks out, he will scope me, to open me up a bit, but he seems to think I'm just healing slower than others, and I agree...Well, I will wait and see, I do ok on pureed food, but when it's time to chew and swallow, there's a problem.

Chilli is good to me, as well as White Castle cheese sticks, I peel the fried breading, I'm just learning what foods to stay away from for now,. I've got to try Applesouce, I never cared for jello.

Hello everyone, today I'm 7 weeks out and still on all liquids...everytime I try to move on to regular foods I get stuck and have to go back to beginning steps so my pouch can rest from spitting up...Im wondering how long will it take my pouch to accept what has happened. Im able to tolerate pureed foods but as soon as I move on from this stage, here comes the stuck feeling, the spitting up, and the reset to liquids, if this continues, I will be making an appointment once again. Im ready to eat....

So far, 60-64...

You look good, how long did it take you to get to your goal weight? Im losing very slow, it seem as thought I stall every 5 days for 5 days.

Lol, thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.
