i'm so glad you wrote to me and that we have so much to share with each other. how are you doing? congratulations and wow!! weren't we brave? have you returned to work? this is my second day, goes pretty good. i see my doctor for my 1 week check-up on thursday 11-29, i wonder what happens then? any ideas? are we really restricted at all at this time? i was reading some of the other entries and it sounds like before you have your first fill you aren't considered restricted. i haven't pushed it. just doing the same old tired food. soup, cream of wheat, jello and yogurt. for some reason i just can't stand the thought of having a protein shake. i need to figure a different way to get more protein. also, i read a disturbing thing last night, did you know we might be losing our hair? what are you up to today? sue.:clap2:
