from the mouths of babes...Amen Elizabeth

Yo go girl! You have much to be proud of... I cant agree more about how much of it is mental....not feeling sorry for yourself and avoiding that 'I deserve a treat'.... I dreamed about pizza for two weeks before the surgery and avoid the junk food isle completly now...I actually morn the loss of food, but it is replaced with the sheer joy of running out of belt holes.... Hang in there!

You know, I have been eating sushi...maybe the cat does smell the fish through the port lol And the pork thing I figured that out too....Im Jewish and Hanukkah is tomorrow....I guess my body was purging me of anything that is not Kosher lol ;-p

First let me congratulate you on your weight loss....now it is time to get rid of the rest of your ugly useless weight...namely your husband. Clearly he is not adding any value to your life, prefers to keep you controlled and in a box and worst of all, is unfaithful. Lose the weight, lose him and find someone who really cares for you.....

So, the 1st 4 days are hell....day five-seven I felt much better...and could eat mushies...by day ten I was eating solif food with no issue...then I tried pork...omg, Im standing there, chewing like I should...slow...happy as a lark then it hits...this feeling like my food tured to cement in my chest...Im blinking..swallowing...but nothing is moving...my eyes start to tear-up...my daughter is looking at me funny as I am frozen like a deer in the headlights...I just stand there and then the feeling to burp overwhelms me and....up it comes...mouth fulls of well chewed pork and saliva...right into the kichen sink! I have never felt anything like that before...it was not throwing up as I know it...it just came back up and out on its own! And there is my 12 y/o..."see dad, I told you not to push it!" "What have we learned dad?" I warned her this is how seagulls feed their young and I was going to make her eat it...lol.. Then there is my cat....he never sleeps on me...but now that I have five incisions and a port that hurts like hell he suddenly feels the need to walk all over my stomach and SIT on my port...what is up with 'dat?? Went to the Dr today..day 14...told him as my swelling went down I was getting more hungry....so he filled me with 2cc's...wow that felt very weird....like someone reached into my chest and grabbed my windpipe lol.... Im down 35 lbs, my BP has dived, Im wearing my thin jeans, and my belt is out of holes....so..so far, so good....

Vote for me! Other canidates are full of hot air, I am full of hot gas...if elected, we will reduce our CO2 emmitions AND our dependency on foreign fuel.... And hopefully I wont be addited to pain killers and Gas-X by the time I am in office....

wow...what a story! I am glad you are ok....

LOL...slogans welome....and Pink, ur right, I was cracking myself up...my 13 y/o daughter just looked at me and shook her head....dad's a dork.... ;-p First full night w/o painkillers too!

It just came to me! Americans are over weight and we have an energy crisis...we can lap band all americans and the gas they produce after the procedure can run our nation for a thousand years...and everyone is thin! I should run for president....

Found this link very interesting: http://www.hcgresources.com/shoulderpain.html

I asked for Deloted (sp) 2mg...I take one pill every 2 hrs instead of 2 every four....it keeps me comfortable, not pain-free. As for the Gasx strips...over priced gimmic....buy the generic pills or chews...they have 2x the active ingredient and cost much less...it will help some, but nothing will prepare you for or solve the post-op gas pain you will likely experience. Just going to have to suck it up I am afraid.... I found a watery cream of wheat day 3+ makes me feel better than Jello or any cold liquid....I will be thinking of you!

You are stonger than me...I DID cry! OMG I have never felt anything like that...felt like the flu times 10...I thought I was about to give birth! I got into bed, took my pain meds every two hours and now, day three is soo much better. Had my 1st BM since surgery Wednesday and ate jello, broth and yogurt. My throat still kills me from the tube, by port is very swollen and painful and I am bloated from all the gas and IV fluids (I gained 3-4 lbs ovrnight from that too)....hang in there!

WOW, ok..the surgery hurt a bunch...but even now, 2 days later I am feeling much better. Those gas pains are...well, not to be described! I found in my case, walking made it worse and flat on the bed better...also taking Bentyl helped a lot. I have had broth, water, tea and jello....no issues. Port site hurts the most and I am bloated and swollen...but seems to be going down. Went up 5 lbs, but that should be all IV fluids...peeing like a horse lol. Do ot stop taking your pain killers! Take them like clockwork to prevent the pain from building...easier to manage that way.

Thank you one and all for your kindness....I am in soo much gas pain...feel like I need a Lamaz coach! I am living on pain killers for now...hope this goes away soon and become a distant memory.....

Almond milk is awesome.....
