I Love Little Kitty Paws Under The Bathroom Door!
Ty.. I got a new dog and was afraid that Chloe was going to claw her to death so I put on the protectors. They work great! You could always get one of those hairless cats..

I Love Little Kitty Paws Under The Bathroom Door!
This has nothing what-so-ever to do with the surgery, but I had to share. I love my kitty trying to play with me under the bathroom door. Everytime I get up to go to the bathroom, she runs like the dickens to get in there. She love to try and get me under the door! This is my first kitty ever and I love her so much!

Food Dreams
I have had food dreams too. I was only home a couple of days and had a dream that I was eating a sandwich and was almost done with it before I realized that I wasn't supposed to be eating because I was on a liquid diet. I don't even eat sandwiches.... at least I could have dreamed I was eating something good like ice cream and cookies, or chocolate.

Mulitvitamins Make Me Sick!
Ok, went to Wally World and bought the One A Day VitaCraves gummies. So far, so good. I just ate two of them about 5 minutes ago and not nauseous yet. The Bariatric Advantage ones make me sick w/in about a minute or two.. no joke. So, how are these as far as vitamins are concerned? Are they ok?

What Point Can You Start Doing Other Exercise Besides Just Walking?
I was told 8 weeks for exercise other than walking and lifting very light weights. I specifically asked about the elliptical and was told not until the eight week mark. Swimming- 5-6 weeks.

What About Disability Insurance
My Dr.'s office said that they wouldn't sign them off until I was released from the hospital. I had my hubby run them into the office on the way home. They filled out their portion and faxed it over. I had surgery on June 12th. I was released on June 14th. I received a payment for one day (June19th). I had to wait until July 5th to fax over the next claim for the previous two weeks. I just received payment for those yesterday. Seems like they are back a couple weeks.

Drain.....
That's what I am here for, Vixy! lol

Drain.....
Vix, I recommend that you take a safety pin to the hospital so that you can pin the drain to your gown. I didn't and wished I would have! It is better when it doesn't dangle. Also, bring a lanyard so when you take a shower you can hook the drain to the lanyard and put it around your neck so it isn't bouncing off of your legs.

Drain.....
If it were draining fat, I would have asked to keep it in longer! lol

Pureed Chicken With Taco/spanish Seasoning
I made too much for me to eat at once so once I took mine out, I added 1/2 can of corn and some corn juice. I gave it in soup form to my hubby and topped his w/ sour cream and guac too. He is eating his with tortilla chips.

Pureed Chicken With Taco/spanish Seasoning
I don't know what to call this, but it is pretty good. I sauteed some cut up chicken breast in Pam and threw in some chopped onions. I put taco seasoning on it. Then I put some tomato paste on it and added water and salsa. Once it was all done, I pureed it. Put in a bowl and top w/ sour cream and guacamole.
