Hip, I didn't mean to say you are right or wrong, just stating the facts. And I have just started solids too and I find that I'm experiementing to see what I can eat and what I can't and just how much. We had a party on Sat night and I tried bagel dip, I was terrified of eating the bread (pretzel bagels) but I wanted to see how I tolerated it. I was fine. so I pushed it and ate more than I wanted just to "test it out" so I understand that you want to see what you can get away with and what you can't. But once I tested it, I knew I ate too much and I know I don't want to do it again, even though I can.

My NUT reccommended it. It only has 5 absorbable carbs per serving and tasted exactly and I mean exactly like regular Pasta. Check out the box it explains the carb calculation. The only place I can find it where I live is at Kroger's which is a grocery store.

For me it's getting thru the day without being exhausted. I travel for work and I used to arrive in a city and go straight to the room and lay on the bed to rest. Now I see the city, go out for dinner, do some shopping. I have about 50 lbs to lose still but what a difference the 73 I've lost have made!

I just happy to see you putting more smiley faces in your text! You had such a rough time there for too long! Seems like you are adjusting now.

...its because I broke my leg, its because my thryroid is messed up, excuses, excuses. No more excuses! I take responsibilty for my actions and am making changes to my eating to get to the new me.

Do you take any Vitamins? I havent had my surgery yet but I see that everyone seems to take vitamins for energy.

Well I saw your post and decide I should join this forum. So this is my first post and my surgery date is April 11 too!!!! I can't believe how many people are doing this in April. I'm excited and scared all at the same time. Insurance isn't covering mine so I'm also nervous about the amount of money I'm spending on me. But the decision is made and I'm going for it!
Good luck to all of us.
