Re: March 24 surgery scheduled - TO Eileen

[Guest guest]

Eileen,

I am so jealous that you've been able to eat all that you've eaten.

Please tell me how you do it!?! I tried to " eat " today - just some

pudding with a baby spoon and I could not get it down at all! Most

of it ended up on my shirt. It was frustrating!

I had surgery on March 2nd as well and have basically been living

off ensure these past 6 days. I'm so craving anything with

substance! Any advice you can give me is MUCH appreciated!

Thanks!

Britt

Britt,

I think you were craving chicken pot pies...well I'm here to

tell you it can be done. I'm fully banded shut with a stint.

I cooked a pot pie in the oven, threw the whole thing in a

blender, and added chicken broth until it got liquid enough to

drink. I'm drinking it right now, infact. Tastes just like

a chicken pot pie!

good luck eating. it sure is a chore right now. 10 more days

for me and the bands come off. To say i can't wait is an

understatement.
