I had mine at Abbott Northwestern in downtown. Pain medication will do that to ya! I just switched to full solid/normal diet and for the most part it seems to be going well. There's a few things I know I have to stay away from but for the most part meats and things are going really well. The surgeon I had fast tracks the diet so I started on the pureed and skipped the liquid diets and then was only on the soft solid for about a week. Although I do notice myself kind of falling back some days as sometimes my body doesn't like the full solids. I'm glad things are going well for you, hitting the 30lbs loss was a huge deal for me as I haven't been able to lose more than about 15lbs at a time in 8 years! Where in the metro are you from? I live in the Burnsville/Eagan area.
