  1. I have trouble with how water taste. I also hate how I can smell everything - even plastic!! I only had that experience with eggs. I could not eat it as a soft food at 4 weeks. My Nut told me to try again at 6 weeks. I did, and the first day was great. 2nd day I dumped. I waited a week and tried again and I could not chew a bite, it tasted like metal to me. Ughh.
  2. My family is party central!!! I had my surgery on June 4th and by now we had 3 birthday party's, 4th July, Fathers Day and who knows what else. I crunched on flavored ice during most of it. Sometimes I just went to another room while they were eating. I didn't want the food after surgery, but the smell of it made me so nauseated.
  3. Hi Patty. I'm going through the same thing. I was able to eat oatmeal because it did not have a smell. I just found a shake I could tolerate (12th time is the charm!!). I can't be in the house when someone is cooking. - I will start gagging really bad!! Try - cheese - low fat, oatmeal, fruit with cottage cheese, small amounts of yougart and Soup.
  4. Carrabas garlics bread - all 5 pieces in the loaf.
  5. Hi Lacy, You at doing great! Trust me, we all cry at some point and of course they "y" start. Why did I do this!!!! I didn't believe it myself, but it does get better - not overnight.
  6. Welcome to group!! I agree the name is super cool.
  7. Yeahh. I'm so happy you are doing well!!! Will you be able to go home tomorrow.
  8. Wow. People just don't know how discriminatory they can be to people with weight issues. I remember only riding the rides at Disney that had bigger seats for "adults" constantly messaging us the lines for everyone else etc.
  9. I have Aetna - GA. It was super quick and super easy. But I have to give my doctor office credit of putting it together to show how I completed every requirement. I also use to work for a insurance company
  10. Ohhh I remember this part!! I tried to be tough when I went home and didn't take pain meds right away - big mistake.
  11. Yes!!! My last meal was a box of pizza picked up. I ate it while my husband was driving on the way to th movies to get popcorn - i ate all of that too along with a Icee. They are or should i say were my 3 favorite things!!!!
  12. I turned paperwork into dr office and chked with insurance company everyday. I received a approval the 2nd day - 48 hours. It took a week for Dr office to get official approval letter from insurance company. Then they schedule surgery the following month - a little less than 30 days.
  13. Yeahhh! I'm so glad u gave us a pic update!!
  14. It took about 2 days after They got the paperwork. But, I had to call myself.
  15. Sexy Red... I can already start seeing the changes.
