Hey Michelle, I am getting in on the tail-end of the conversation. haha I tooooooooooo have gas very bad, it rumbles like a freight train, and I don't burp either. I figured that the absence of burping was causing the excess gas in my tummy. I live on Phazyme, take 2 caps everyday, and sometimes more, depending on what I eat. YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!! Happy Tooting to Everyone....................... Toot Toot............... :banana

Hey everyone, I know its not monday, but I finally got past the 265 mark, wooohooooooo. Made my day. I am doing the jig :banana I am managing to stay focused through this darn divorce, its getting nasty now.......... I hoped to avoid that........ but oh well, it can only get better!!!! I am still walking........ 2-3 miles a day........ if I miss I feel horrible, works out a lot of frustration toooooooo! The more angry I get the faster I walk. hehe Well keep up the good work everyone Take care all and hugs to everyone. Jodie

Just a little note to let you know, you have more support than you can imagine here............ and I am saying an extra prayer for you and your family! Take care of you too, and keep smiling. Hugz Jodie

Welcome back KellyAnn, I am so glad you made it home safe!!!!!!!! You are on the road now......... woohoooo.............. I too experienced some of the same things with the language barrier with the nurses, that was difficult, but we made it through. Take care of yourself and let yourself heal. Don't rush back into those activities of lifting. I am a nurse, and I saw how important this was immediately. Keep smiling............. and I look forward to hearing about your voyage. Hugz Jodie

Thank to everyone for the support!!! Sorry for my delay in response to all you wonderful people. I have just been preoccupied and trying to stay focused. Going back to work tonight, should be interesting, since everyone knows my husband too and I am sure they know. Say a prayer for me. Will keep you all updated. Thanks again Hugz to all Jodie P.S. I haven't slept much in a few days, but I am still walking, got to love myself for that............... I even got up this morning at 6 and walked in the dark with a flashlight, praying I didn't step on a snake!!! yikes. Anyway, focus focus focus for me.

From what I have read, this is normal.................. I am waiting for my first fill toooooooooooo. I WANT TO EAT LESS!!!!!! Just try to stay positive and keep smiling. Oh and Michelle, your not weird at all, the 3rd week post op is when I thought I was going to starve to death! I too was bloated and uncomfortable and got full fast. Your twin is here again. Love you all, and keep up the good work!!! Hugz Jodie

Whippledaddy and Clara............... geez, you two, have just opened my eyes, I just want you both to know how much I appreciate both your knowledge and inspiration! WOW, Whipple, you have been there haven't you.................. I need to talk to you some more........... Feel free to email me or contact me on yahoo as frinnybop30........... I would love to talk. I am so glad this site is here, I am addicted, thank goodness, cuz I never had anything like this before!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Such a family and friends........... I love it. Jodie

Hey Clara, thank you so much for responding, and adding your wisdom and inspiration. I NEED IT!!! I am trying to do my best, but it is hard, I am constantly telling myself, to chill, and don't sabatage yourself!!!! Thank you Jodie

yes Rebeccalee, I am not about to let this sabotage if I can help it. And I truly think this a small sabotage. We have been having problems for a year now, and he is just now realizing, he said it was like a bomb, well, that is ok, and I understand, but he has done nothing but bake sweets and shit, since I came back 4 weeks ago. He won't admit it. Anyway, this has been a long time coming, it just pisses me off he couldn't wait and get along with me for a few more months. Maybe I am selfish, but I guess he is too!. Jodie

My prayers are with you hun! Jodie

Thank you so much for responding so quick. Lord knows I need it, cuz I am sabotaging as we speak, drinking a mixed drink. I know I cannot do this, but I am just trying to numb things more. I believe what you said, things will get better, and I have to hope for better, that is all I have. I would say more, but I am at a loss for words at this point................ the numb thing. Thank you again. Jodie
