I am so grateful for all the support I have had in the last week. This is a very difficult transition, but have never had so many people told me how proud they are of me. I lost 8 pounds in 5 days post-opt, 12 for surgery. I feel that I am on the right path, but the feelings of fatigue and hunger sometimes make me forget that the end justifies the means. As a treat, I have planned a weekend away for my month out. Eating out will be tough, but I need soemthing to look foward to. I add creanm soup, yogurt and pudding to my clear liquid diet tomorrow for a week. Next week will bring me to another few additions. I am so glad I took this huge step and face each day with more confidence that I can do this for life!:confused:

Today is my week out as well. I can't wait until yogurt tomorrow. Other then 3 protein shakes a day I am on clear liquids for 2 weeks, adding yogurt and puddings only tomorrow. Feeling okay other then some tightness in the chest from hernia repair. Planning to return to work next week. Keep up the good work, it will be worth it!!

I had surgery on 9/29and have gas pains that I can't get rid of. I am taking Mylanta, bto no avail. I am also very nauseous. Does this mean I am sipping too much?
