First meal in almost a month....Woo Hoo!
Just a little update since my surgery... 
To date i've lost 23 lbs and my blood pressure has come down so much that my family
doc has taken me off 1 of my BP meds, only 2 more to go.
My first 2 weeks post-op i lived on broth, jello, and apple juice. Then the next 2 weeks (almost) i've lived on creamed soups, pudding, applesauce. NOW today i had my first meal i could actually chew. 20 grams of chicken, 2 brussel sprouts, and 2 tsps of mashed potatoes. The best meal i've every had..
but boy am i full.
This was no easy task as some ppl don't take to solid food for some time, but so far it'* staying down...
I feel like i've just had a big Thanksgiving dinner..
Thanks everyone who have sent me PM'* to see how i was making out i really appreciated it.

I'm sorry, I don't know what happend. None the less, i'm glad you are doing better and you're blood pressure has dropped. High blood pressure runs rabid in my family.
For ppl who didn't know or forgot i had Gastric Bypass Surgery on Feb 17/06
