One week from today

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone

I have been reading your posting for days now. I think it's time for

me to join this group. I really have found out more about what I'm

about to do then I thought there was to FIND out. I have been taking

the Pollyanna out look on this. My friends seem to be more worried

then I am and they are having a big time making me little gifts. I now

have a necklace with a lovely painted pail as the charm. I guess this

is to catch anything that may fly out of my mouth. Then there is the

set of bibs. Cute friends. I am going to lunch everyday this week and

eating everything that sounds good to me right now. I love to eat and

I'm a cook so I eat and taste all the time. I'm one of the lucky ones

that I don't gain weight. The Dr wanted me to put on 10 pounds before

I do this. I am trying like crazy. I've managed 2 pounds.

My husband is also taking the Pollyandy outlook. We will be moving

early this summer. ( he is in the military) My surgery is the 26th and

on the 30th the group he works with are having a big farewell party

for him. I guess when they were asking him what a good date would be

he decided that after only 4 days I would be fit and ready to party. I

am a tuff Army wife but not that tuff! The the man is killing me, I am

wonderwomen most of the time but this party girl will stay home with

my pail and bibs.

I'm sure I will have lots of question next week. I just wanted to get

my foot in the door and say hi to all of you.

Always " M "

Very nice to meet you!

COngrats on your plans to better your health.

As to the party, I do agree...an d no worries, this is sorta scary

to outsiders, but been there done that and you can too, no doubt!

As to weight, that's me too....I Blended everything post-op...what a

beautiful thing...gained, didn't loose and I " can't gain " so i

think, stay healthy, eat good foods and blend away...enough calories

an d you will be able to sustain your weight.

Hang in there, and if you want ideas ask me...Probably not since

you're a chef, but never know!
