Week 1 post-op is done! 10 pounds down! This means 25 since I started the pre-op diet on 12/30/09! Other than a nasty reaction to the steri strips on my incisions, I don't feel too bad. I still have a little gas pressure but gas x is keeping it controlled. The only time I feel hungry is late at night. The other problem I have is the handful of meds I've traditionally taken at bedtime. This did not sit well. The solution is that I take everything 1 hr after supper and only take my ambien at bedtime. My first fill is scheduled for 2/26.

I was on 1/13 too. Are you taking gas-x? Also, the clinic nurse called today and stated as awful as it sounds, if I could lay on my stomache for a few minutes that a lot of this would be released. I haven't tried it yet.

Surgery was completed 2 days ago. I arrived at 8:45, went into surgery at 10:30, recovery room until 12:30, then an outpatient room. Was able to go home at 4:00 pm. I am a little sore, but not anywhere near the pain I had with my c-sections. I do have quite a bit of gas build up but fortunately am able to burp. The journey has begun!

OK, my in-laws live with us. Supposidly they started dieting with me the 1st of the year. In the last week they have come home with cinnamon hearts, makings for ice cream sundaes, cinnamon struesel bread (that they toasted), made homemade bread, made pancakes, among other items. They will be challenge. Mom does the grocery shopping and the cooking. Very difficult to be self-controlled with all this crap in the house. :w00t:
