Deborah, Thanks for the welcome. I just had my second dr's visit this past tue and all is going well. Starting Sunday, I will be able to start to pureed green beans and baby food. I am nervous about the stage 2 baby food since even though we do not have children, I see babies make the face like i did with some of my medicine when they eat their food. My wife can't wait (me too) till Jan 5 when I can return to regular food. Then I will not drive my wife crazy. My belly is not really hurting to much except when I sit vertical in a hard chair. I will be returning to work next Monday. My belly hurt more since they did a hyrnia repair for me but they still released me the following day to go home. Your friend will do fine. It is just such a hard adjustment to go on liquid only diets. It will be difficult for me (and my wife) on Thanksgiving not to be able to have even a taste of the traditional food. I have a bad knee and leg so it has been really hard to exercise but the walking is getting easier every day. Thanks again for the support and welcome.
