Thanks, Jennyblue. Fortunately I haven't done that again. I am slowly losing the craving for food that has little value. I'm happy about that. I've learned that I have so little room for anything at all, that I want it to be nutritionally valuable. Good luck to you. I'm 12 lbs down at two weeks out.

Oh yes! Sleeping on my back makes my lower back hurt really bad! It was a week post op before I could comfortably sleep on my sides. As far as the headache, I had a super duper horrible headache in hospital (I think due to the morphine) and convinced a nurse to give me liquid Tylenol with codeine (before my barium swallow). Whew! I am prone to headaches and I have had not a one since returning from hospital. I think it is all the liquids! I used to NEVER drink Water. I am now a believer as headaches are my greatest fear! Good luck!

Oh, the gas was the worst! But don't worry, it will be gone very soon. I am a week and a half out and I feel great! What a difference just a day makes! Good luck!
