my doc said two weeks of Clear Liquids, but i couldnt stand it. on the one week mark, i ate a piece of baked fish with no problems. i just chewed it until it swallowed itself. I've also had creamy liquids and a little homemade lowfat Sugar Free Chocolate ice cream. but i felt great after two day and only took pain meds for one day. i was determined to get over the surgery and get on with my life. i'm still not straining myself much just to be safe.

while were at it, my ancestors came here as endentured servants. will i get slavery reparations? thats right, my family were irish slaves. if i do get reparations, i want to put it towards funding the war. can i do that?

I dont know about smoking pot after the surgery, but i was wondering about crack. when do you think it would be alright to start free basing again? since i got banded, i've got a lot of kitchen appliances i can pawn. hahaha if you've quite smoking, then dont start back. have an occassional shot of tequila.

i had my surgery on 06/27 and one week later i was down 15 pounds and feeling like a champ. as of the beganing of week two, i still havent had a fill and i can tell it. i dont get all that hungry, but the liquids dont fill me up like i think they should. dont tell my doc, but i've even tried a little solids with no trouble at all. i just chew it until it swallows itself.hehe i'm still not straining myself just for safe measure, but i feel great. except for the dragon breath and they say that should go away. it better!!!

if the docs cant figure out the cause, then let a physical therapist treat the symptom. foot drop is caused by interuptions in the neural synapses *sp*. its very common in people who have experianced a stroke. there are electrostimulation devices that can help correct the condition, as well as traditional modalities that can re-educate the flexor muscles of the lower leg. good luck.
Anyone else SUPER cranky??

yeah, a little. my wife and kids were chomping down on buffalo wings, rice and calamari, and i was going to have a little more of my protien shake than usual and they started in on me. with their mouths full. my kids learned a new word that night.
