Hi and Welcome Susan. I too was banded on the 5th. Lots of great people hang out in here so grab your protein shake and pull up a chair and sit a spell!

Welcome, I was banded on the 5th as well, how are things going?

Pretty well for the most part but I am still battling being hungry. Cooking for the rest of the family is SOOO difficult ..but I've been very good and have only had what I'm supposed to have. I think most of it is mental hunger not actual physical but what I wouldn't give for some garlic bread right now

Welcome and Congratulations Susan!

Well cooking for six children and all those snacks...I'm hungry just thinking of it. I know it must be extra hard but you are doing this for yourself first and them. Love is all about sacrifice isn't it. I am glad you are also doing well.

Welcome and you will love it here!!! Everyone is awesome!!

Welcome! This is a great group with lost of support!

Welcome. You have your hands full so spend a bit of time on you.

All the best.

I agree cooking for the family and not being able to eat it is very very hard. But I've only got 2 more weeks of mushies and I can try solids. So I will hang in there!

I guess I am very lucky. After two weeks my doctor siad he wanted me to eat ONLY solid food, no Soup, no liquids with meals. I haven't figured out the ticker yet....I'm dowm 29 popunds sice Surgery on 10/4...and I feel great.

I think you will feel better when you can have a few bites of the food you are fixing. I didn't cook much during my two weeks of liquid. My family had to fend for themselves, for the most part...but we were so busy with the end of the soccer season, I don't think they noticed. A couple of nights I made soup, and ate only the broth, with no sandwich, and that sort of thing. My children do not know...a decision I made for a variety of reasons. At this point, I am just eating small portions, so I don't think they will figure it out now.
