Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 and Derrick You are both too funny and both truly have made me smile today:-) Derrick, I know what you mean about the pros of a liquid diet. After I had the mashers the other day it was a mess getting the kitchen AND my face clean. Ha ha! So much easier with the blender and pure liquids. I think my stomach is getting a little too accustomed to the liquid diet because when i had the mashed potatoes I felt stuffed silly and I only had a little bowl so beware when you get dewired. Your stomach just won't be as big as it used to be. I'm sure you'll change that quickly enough though. I'll keep my fingers crossed for a swift and painless dewiring for you. I have to say, I admire your good cheer and patience throughout the past 5 weeks. I'm already stroppy with the splint and bands. I think I would have been a nightmare with the permanent wiring. Thank goodness we were all spared that! Sara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
