Have you ever looked at a gravestone? On it you will find the date a person was born - and the date that person died. In between is a dash. This small symbol signifies a persons whole existence. When it comes time for my dash to be chipped in, I want to know I lived a full and wondrous life.

2nd Fill update

So I had my second fill today and it all went rather smoothly. Sat down with Doc where he asked a million and one questions and when I answered truthfully about the couple of times I have eaten too much, I got a slightly disapproving frown. He said I must stop doing that because if I was to continue, especially for the next year or so doing the same thing, then I will stretch the little pouch and he can't' fix' that! So, I was instructed to just eat a cup full, walk away and if still hungry in a ten minutes or so I can have another half a cup. If I'm not, then all over red rover, that's dinner (or lunch or breakfast) done with. Back on solids on Sunday after a few days of soft foods.

I've just eaten dinner now (I made up Deb instant mash, half a tablespoon of weight watchers sour cream and a 95g tin of chilli tuna) and it was deeee-lic-ous. I'd never eaten instant mash before being banded and it's my new favorite soft food. I figure it's got all the bases covered, carbs, dairy and protein. Oh, and I wont be going back for more. I'm offically stuffed lol.

    Congrats on the second fill.

    Hmmm instant Deb mash definitely sounds intriguing. I'll have to try that.

    I sometimes mix tuna with cottage cheese. It does sound gross, I'll admit that wholeheartedly, but, with salt and pepper it tastes great.

    I have always admired your ability to stick to the rules...like mushies, etc. My rules are a little more fluid...just guidelines I would say. Maybe you will rub off on me!

    I had trouble the other day trying to post when you mentioned you weighed less than MOTH! I too outweigh the Steve-O, but I'm pretending he doesn't know it. And I'll have a personal celebration when I am down below him! I thinking by our birthdays (in Jan, one week apart) and that will easily be nearly 60 lbs and probably more by then cause he keeps saying he needs to lose some weight!! NOOOO! Not til I do! :) Congrats on the new sizes and the excellent fill!Keep up the great work.
