Wow am I tired! Sorry mom__24 I called u Joyce, lol I'm retarded! Would love to meet for tea or lunch though. Sorry long day at work ;/

[TheNewSusie 471]

Hey everybody, it's almost August! So I'm on mushies and I'm struggling! I ate half an egg with cheese this morning and I was stuffed. For lunch I ate two jumbo shrimp that I chopped up in a creamy sauce they make at work and I'm so full! I'm on my break and I feel like I ate a whole pizza and stuffed my face. I don't like this feeling, I really hope I can get in all my Protein and not struggle. Just thought I'd share. I emailed Susan to see what she says but I can't believe how full I am ;/. I ate slow and chewed. Ugh I feel gross.

Sorry to hear Susie. Please let me know what Susan says, I am curious. Restriction is good, but I can imagine it being frustrating to get full after two bites. Maybe that will still ease and change some as we heal more often.

Thanks for the invite Mom. Sorry if it took awhile to get over here, I kinda slept in today. Thanks Dooter for starting the thread. The other August Thread is great but it is very long if you are just starting out.

I am currently on my liquid pre-op diet now. I was to officially start on the 23rd but I figured few extra days would not kill me. And they haven't so far even though I am only on day 2 this has been a piece of cake for me. I did mess up yesterday when I added banana to skim milk and blended. NO fruit ALLOWED!!

I am scheduled for surgery with Dr. Alvarez on August 6th.

And you can call me Jennifer or Jenn for short if you don't want to call me Storm.

I did call cause my legs was hurting so bad and was told to put 1/2 a banana in my shakes so you didnt really mess up

We are at the hotel now and trying to figure out where I can get some Soup for dinner. That is tough ! Not much to eat out that is Clear Liquids. We have called around and places have broccoli cheese soup and a bean soup but nothing else. Crazy ! I may not get dinner tonight. ;(

[allnewme 262]

Located a Panera! Soup is being served.

Good Luck Joyce. It's starting to get exciting and nerve wracking especially now that you are headed up, knowing that 4 days after you I will be in the same shoes.

Susie, Soup was so good! I chose the French onion, every thing else was cream based or had noodles. It had the least calories too. Boy, was I hungry!! I have a Protein Shake for tonight and one for tomorrow , if they will allow me to take it on the plane.

Storm, it has certainly come quickly for me. The last week has been extra busy and I just didn't realize my time was here so quickly.

I will post tomorrow after we get to eagle pass!

Going to try to get some sleep, the wake up call is for 3:30 AM!
