My First Post As A Newbie!

So I had surgery 8/27/12, my last weigh in was 255lbs! Just got home yesterday, so much more comfortable being at home. Not to mention having my mom here to help with my two girls, Leslie 10 and Mikayla 13 months. As of now I still have lots of gas and pressure right under my chest which I assume is from gas also...I've been sipping on water every hour, protein drinks 3x a day and ice pops. Starting tomorrow I'll b able to try mashed potatoes and yogurt. I have 5 incisions, but only one bothers me. I haven't drank enough to know what a full feeling feels like... Pretty curious to know but I don't want to get sick. Deep breaths are still a little difficult. Any one know when all these symptoms will subside? I'll do my best to post pictures as I go along my journey. Hope to learn a lot and share moments with all of you!
