I'm feeling good. I appear to be a slow loser so I am disappointed in my progress but I am just getting into the swing of getting enough Protein so I am hoping it will start picking up soon. I still have not mastered eating slowly. But I've got the fluids thing down pat. And I just got a delivery of Gatorade Zero with protein today so I am hoping that will be a tasty addition to my daily intake.

Don’t worry about the weight, it’ll happen. And the slow eating will be second nature after a while. The fluids thing is very important - sounds like you are off to a fantastic start!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
