Finally almost feeling human today and I've been able to stay dressed all day to not take a nap. Most waistbands, even though loose, rub on one or more of the 7 holes. I have my "one week" post-surgery checkup on Friday, and wondering if I've lost any weight yet. The most I have been able to get down in one day is 3 oz of jello, 16 oz (36 g) of protein shakes, and water all day long. The protein shakes give me such an uncomfortable fullness so that each 8oz takes me hours. I haven't had to use the hydrocodone today and hope maybe I can stop taking it permanently!

Hi, I just wanted to wish you luck. Keep resting, you`ll feel so much better soon.....

Wow - I hope things are better soon. My date is 7/10/08 - I have heard the 1st week is the worst. I'm a little worried!!
