Hi Genz,

Yes I noticed it on my face. I attributed it to two things. First I'm not

so bloated as I used to be so my skin isn't so taut from being puffed out.

Second, since I'm eating less fat and sugar my complexion is clearing up. My

pores are probably breathing for the first time in years! lol

Claire you are amazing!!!! I can't imagine trying something ever again if it

made you throw up!!!! I have never thrown up once and I am 5 months post

op!!! I am so careful what I eat, probably toooo careful, but Lordy, I can't

take throwing up or even the thought of it!!!! I eat baked potatoes a lot

and sauteed mushrooms and that is a good meal to me!!! I do use real butter

on my potato and the fat free sour cream. I can eat scrambled eggs and

bacon. l/2 of a cheeseburger from Steak & Shake and about 8 french fries/

fat free cream cheese and triscuit/ white baked fish and twice baked potatoes

that have cheese mixed in with them. Tuna sandwich with doritoes. So you

see I have a fairly tame diet. I eat a banana every single day!!!

Woopiee!!! lol But I am down 80 lbs. so that ain't bad baby!!! in

Dear Claire,

Your story did help me tremendously. (I am not lying either)

As far as subject matter goes, hey, I had two little brothers. I

think I have seen it and heard it all...LOL I didn't think we would

be 'able'(unless you 'barf') to eat so much or such a variety of

food! I keep thinking I will be on a liquid diet for a LONG time

after the surgery. Thanks for the info. PS I still LOVE how you

sign the end of your notes.

Love,

Love is very patient and kind...

Clair,

Thanks for the hot chocolate tip......I won't be trying it anytime soon.

I

do have a question though. Have you noticed your skin being softer and smoother

since surgery?

Yesterday I made the comment to my hubby that my face seemed smoother and softer

and he said he had noticed the skin on my arms felt smoother and softer. I

haven't

changed my beauty/bath products and the only thing different is the surgery. I

just thought I would see if anyone else has the same thing. This may be a new

fountain of youth!!!!!!!!!!

Well, I remember that Dr. R. said that just because something doesn't sit

well one day doesn't mean it will always disagree. I've found that to be

true. In the beginning rice did not agree, but now I can eat it. I couldn't

stomach (no pun intended) gatorade, but now I'm (slowly) developing a taste

for it.

As long as the scale keeps going in the right direction, I'll keep checking

to see what variety I can add to my menu. Today I had three ham slices and 6

saltines for breakfast and then some crystal light a little while later. I

agree with whomever said ham is great. It give me protein, is low fat (the

one I buy at least) and it also is a bit salty so it helps with fluid

retention too!

Yes that could be part of the problem as well.

I'll keep your daughter in my prayers. I'm glad she's looking forward to

camp this year. Any weight she can get off before surgery will certainly

help her in the long run.
