6 months out and you're still having issues "going?" This is kind of discouraging. I'm 3 weeks out and thought it would fix itself over time but apparently not. I don't want to live on laxatives...

What a great thread! Seems like a lot of people have similar wishes. Mine are: -To fit in a desk at school and not feel squeezed & uncomfortable (I'm a Grad student) -To be able to walk across campus with my friends & not feel winded and sweaty -To not dread taking the stairs instead of an elevator -To ride my bike farther than down the street -To get on Amusement Park rides -To have my diabetes go in remission -To find a new form of entertainment that isn't going out to eat -To love myself as much as my husband does

Hi All! I am from Syracuse, but live near Rochester now. Had my surgery done in Rochester on 12/21. Boy, those first couple of weeks are really tough, aren't they? I'm finding it hard to drink 32oz of water/fluids a day. And i find the Protein shakes nauseating! I've been "experimenting" with other soft foods with success though. I'm healing up nicely, but really ready to move on to something more...regular haha.
