I stayed in the hospital for 3 days. The day I went home I was on soft foods. I guess you can say purée. By my third week I didn't have any diet restrictions. The doctor said I was doing so good he didn't see a problem. He just reminded me to chew, chew, chew and eat slowly. So far I have never been sick to my stomach. Some foods give me an uncomfortable feeling. But that's it. When I feel like that I just go back to the soft diet for a couple of days.

The passion tea is soooo good. I bought the tea bags and make it at home. I haven't had it iced. I'll have to try that.

Wow, what a difference. You look awesome. Congrats!

Glad your doing better. You look awesome. Congrats!

Panda you look great. Congrats!

This is a learning experience. Next time you will pay more attention to how much your eating. Hope you feel better soon. I did that once and it is a terrible feeling. I didn't get sick but I made myself get sick. After like 15 minutes I couldn't take it anymore. Now I eat slowly and watch what I'm eating.

My doctor hasn't taken me off of mines yet but he has me using it very other night. On the nights I don't use it I have no problem going to sleep.

You look awesome.

That's great!

Welcome! Good luck on your new journey.

Glad your home and doing well.

I kept feeling lightheaded. I told my primary doctor and he couldn't find anything. I told my ENT and he couldn't find anything. So when I went to my sleep doctor I told her and she said my pressure might be too high. My pressure was set at 10. She adjusted to 8. Like magic I haven't been lightheaded. I never thought it could've been my cpap.

I have sleep apnea too. It might take several masks before you find the right one. After that you will be fine. I had my surgery in April 2012. I have had to have my pressure on my machine reduced twice. My doctor told me I will be off of it soon. So look at it this way after you lose some weight eventually you might come off of it. Good luck.

Don't forget to walk. It takes time but every little bit helps. Congrats! Oh and your hair looks great. Lol.

Wow that is great. You've come this far. You can do it. Congrats!

Glad your doing better. You will rest better at home.
