Starting into week 3 post op

No problems making a transition from liquids to semi-solids. Able to take thick soups and even tuna and chilli. I can feel full after about 6oz. of food. I get a feeling like I'm going to have the pain I had from gulping air. That's enough to make me shut the eating down. That stays for about an hour and if that is the new full feeling then this should be easy. I've done great on keeping caffeine out and not drinking after a meal, although I forget sometimes. Lower tract is finally firmed up now that I'm getting something other than tea, water and the protien shake. With the current weight loss my productivity is way up and I'm feeling great now that I can eat an egg or thick soup. My wife is glad too. I've been pretty miserable watching them eat and my mood has not been very good.

First fill scheduled for Feb.6th. They adjust the fill using a flouroscope so they can get it right.
