4 days post op and feelin' GREAT!

Hi There List,

Well, I must say, this surgery was wayyyyyy to easy.

Yesterday I attended the Durham support group (about

40 or 50 people were there). About 10 of us along

with Dr. Rutledge went out for Chinese afterwards. We

had a great time! I ate applesauce and today I had

yogurt and later on cream soup. I tolerate everything

well. No dumping, no nausea, no pain...

I must say, it will be hard not to tempt fate feeling

this well, but I am committed to obedience.

I am going to weigh in Tuesday and see if there's any

loss so far. Even without the surgery I should loose

on this " diet " of clear liquids and soft foods.

Again, in the first few days, my diet has consisted

of:

Watermelon, jello, juice, water (of course),

applesauce, cream based soup and broth.

Nothing has caused me a problem and I am going to try

mashed potatoes next week.

(I am an official Dr. Rutledge groupie, and

so is my mother!) He really has been great.
