Post-Op Ride Home...car Or Van?
Just bring the pillow and tell them to watch the bumps, and you'll be just fine. No problems getting up, just couldn't bend over.

Telling People
We all support and it is the perfect place to vent. Just wait until your dad and sister start seeing you being more active and healthy. I think when the weight loss happens and they see this, their views will change.

Post Op Fluids
I would double check those noodles. I think they need to be strained at that stage.

To Cruise Or Not To Cruise?
My husband and I just booked a 10 day cruise in November. I'll be 4 months by than. We've cruised a lot not worried about meals etc, but like you I'm now thinking about clothes. I never expected to lose this much weight so quickly, but I'm not complaining:) I had lost weight two years ago in the summer and had bought smaller clothes in 14 and size large tops. Well the tops are starting to fit now, and the pants are getting close...guess I'll also be shopping for clothes. Realizing this I started to look for swimsuits, but have found I missed out already, even on line most are sold out...and what size?

Will I Ever Be Able To Chug Water Again?
I'm six weeks out tommorow and wish I could chug as well. I seem to always be thirsty, but just can't get the fluids down real well. I only average around 40 oz per day, not sure how others hit 64 ounces.
