Just meet me at broken jaw

[bodybuilder1958]

Hi All,
Wish I could say it's been fun, lost 9lbs, holding steady so far. Had to go to Goodwill to get some pants, others were falling off my body. Three more weeks to go, slowly after that actually chewing, eating. I have quite a variety of things I've been eating so the cravings have been low. I ate some potato chips last night (gummed them), took me almost an hour to eat a 99cent bag of Lays.
Hubby says this is the craziest thing I've ever done. I say it's the most painful thing I've ever done. His latest topic, "How can I be so skinny if I sit at the table so long?"
WC doctor didn't do me a favor last week on the deposition. It's really up in the air as to whether or not WC will pay for a total knee. He sputtered around causation, said though that the total knee is needed. So I'll wait for the judge to decide. Respondent wants me to settle, offered $10,000. Add another zero to that number and I might agree to that. I really, really don't care at this point. Either WC replaces the knee or our insurance. Just give me the bloody decision so I can get on with my life.

Girl you didn't have any weight to loose before surgery!

Can you have blended fruit & juice?

Use to make some awesome drinks at the sandwich shop I worked at years ago.

The same ALJ awarded my TKR and I believe she will decide in your favor.

I can have anything that I don't need to chew. So...I'm very creative, had ravoli this evening, peds food if you wish to say that. If I can gum it against the upper splint I can eat it. If I had to only do liquids I'd probably be done 20+lbs

Problem with my recommending this as a weight loss program is that I weighed just under 109lbs to start. I was within 10oz of the doctor telling me to go home and gain weight. 108lbs or less for my height throws me out.

Drink Ensure Plus inbetween meals. They are only 8 ozs and 350 calories. Also lots of smoothies, mashed vegetables, yogurt with fruit.

Hope you're feeling better soon!

Daddy hated those...but they make a fruit drink that has as many calories he loved...
