  6. Wow!!!! That's fantastic!!!! So... how does it feel??? I'm only a week and half in.. only started pureed food yesterday.. Would love to see pics if you're willing...
  7. How strange.. I replied to what I saw as the last post, and suddenly a load of new posts came in.. how confusing.. :-/ I just found I've lost 15 lbs though.. so I'm also really happy... :-)))
  8. I think we're at the end of the pain, and it's just a matter of a few days now.. And I agree that it's so much fun going through this with other people.. step by step.. :-) I started with a little pureed liver and mashed potatoes last night.. two teaspoons of each and I was STUFFED!!!! What a fantastic feeling to be full and satisfied - and from soooooo little!!! I wonder why each of us was told a different amount of time on the liquids...

  10. Congrats!!!!!!! Does it seem like a week to you? I was told only one week of liquids, and now can start with super soft pureed food.. anyone else? Also still in a little pain.. :-(
  11. This was amazing to read. You made me cry.. Im sooooo happy for you! You deserved this after everything you've been through. You didn't say how you are feeling? Physically or emotionally with all this.. I hope you are amazing... :-)
  12. That's great!!!! You sound really happy... :-)
  13. Thanks.. I have been using heating pads.. and the nausea is nearly gone.. I've also been taking pain killers.. I know it's early days.. it's just hard when my kids just want me to hold them and play with them.. they're the only ones that can't understand... :-/ But soon all will be AMAZING.. I just know it!
  14. I'm with you!! I want to live a BETTER life!!! 257 to 244 (day 6....) I'm 5'6.. :-)

But my hubbie is wonderful, his daughter is amazing and my mom is helping loads too... Also, I just noticed the weirdest thing! My shoes feel too big! Very strange! Haha... How has your day been?
