I'm actually around again.

Gosh,

I can't believe all the well wishes! Thanks everyone of you. Megan, the coughing did not effect the band at all except that Soup and soft foods went down much easier (thus the weight gain). I didn't feel it was tighter at all, just wasn't hungry for real heavy food.

To the rest of you, I will try to write down the recipes tonite and get them out to all of you tomorrow.

Made it through Thanksgiving easily (thank you Dr. McKeen for the fill last week). It made my portion sizes and desires for sweets much less, also who wants appetizers when you have all your favorites to look forward too. The only appetizer I ate was crab dip (that I made).

Thanks again for all the positive thoughts and hopefully I will make it through my first full week of full time this week.

Michelle -- my positive thoughts are with you at the doctors this morning. Hopefully your band is OK?
