had surgery May 21(Tuesday), was home on Thursday and mowing my yard on Friday, lol. I felt good. started to eat solid food by week 2. I just eat real slow, has a couple of times that I ate fast and it felt like someone hit me in the back between my shoulder blades. as far as hunger pains, I have none, because food does not taste good. I enjoy fruit, but as solid food goes, I have no craving for anything. I just eat something because I know I need too. had a 4oz. hamburger patty last night and ate it slow. FYI on weighing everyday, it was funny the first week, I could take a nap and wake up and weigh and I would lose 2lbs. but after week 2, I started to weigh on Tuesday and Fridays, never weigh on the weekend.
