So it can hurt for months? Guess its true they cut through nerves and have to recuperate on little nutrients right after.

My stomach still feels sore 10 days out of surgery when I sit/ stand. It's much less pain and is manageable but I was wondering when does this stop? It comes and goes but is a very dull ache that spikes sometimes. When did it stop for you guys? Did you even experience this?

As great as your faces are...weight loss progress pics would be nicer with actual bodies...

This is why lots of places say you shouldn't weigh everyday. Water weight fluctuations, menstrual blood getting ready for your next period, and time of day can make your weight fluctuate +/- 5 pounds. On another note, you are losing 30 pounds in less than 2 months...which is 15 pounds per month. This is the norm, especially without exercise added in.

They say 64 ounces of fluid minimum and for me, that seems hard. So 4 ounces/hr tells me what I should be doing, If you're doing fine outside of that, good job, I don't think it matters if you drink faster.

I'm westcoast ladies friend and the couple has helped me every step of the way. Before surgery, after, and all the inbetweens. The couple really has not been anything but nice to me and I really cannot think of any way to make up for how much they have helped me. Besides talking to me and calming me down for hours everyday, never asking for anything in return, they email me reminders to walk and tell me what are fun things to do in Mexico. I came down to Mexico alone and I would be a mess if not for the amazing work of these two people. When I woke alone in the hospital after surgery, the only thing I remembered was westcoastlady's husband's voice saying "WALK WALK WALK WALK WALK". Despite the pain I got up and walked, I have called them all hours of the day being nervous, excited, tired, and they have never failed to calm me down and make me feel reassured. I tip my hat off to this couple and this website lost an amazing couple today. I'm just happy they were around when I went to Mx and I love this couple to death! P.S. If you're ever in town, I need to take you guys out
