Hello Everyone, the monster inside me has settled down, it is 4 days after surgery and I am feeling good, the cravings for those pretzels I wanted has subsided a bit and I am looking forward to some cream of wheat tomorrow. So far I have lost 11 pounds (WOW) It feels so good when you get on that scale and the pounds are dropping. So it's only been liquid diet thus far and it was hard the first few days, but it is getting easier. Last night I was feeling a little hungry and decided to have some SF Jello, but I added a little whipped cream to it and it made the world of difference. So if your in a rut, try it, mix it in and it will taste better. For the most part I am feeling great, I was going to go back to work today, but decided to take one more day to get some stuff done around the house and rest up a little more. Only thing that is driving me crazy now are the incesions, they itch like crazy. Well Bye for now!!!!
