City: Saudi Arabia |  Hallelujah! I Feel Normal Again!
Hi Everyone,
Just an update, FINALLY yesterday for the first time I felt normal...no pain, I slept on my left side last night (it's the small things that matter!)!
I figured out that with all the coughing causing the pain that if I bend over when I have to cough...it doesn't hurt (all that excess makes a cushion) and therefore doesn't irrate and it's finally getting back to normal.
I get to eat REAL food now and that's great! Discovered that Lean Cuisine (thanks to j.lynn) is PERFECT!
Thank you-Thank you-Thank-you to everyone...I find such inspiration from all of you.
I've never been a "joiner" but you guys embodie the positives of a group spirit and give me confidence that I CAN do this...

Yeahh Deb! It does take a month (more or less) for most of us to "feel normal" again. And WOW, nearly -10 already! WTG!
Yep! I agree, the support here is awesome! If it wouldnt be for this place, my journey would never have been such a success!
Keep up the great work! :D

Ahh, it feels SO good! You get little glimpses of normal along the way. Then one day, you realize, WOW! I feel normal!! It's a great relief. Good for you!
I love LBT too. It's a great place to be. I never would have done it if I hadn't had all of you nice folks to help along the way!

Great work! Any word on when you get your first fill? Yup, I agree, there is an emotional component to when you get to solid foods.

My Doc usually does a fill at eight weeks but I'm leaving on vacation so will have to wait until I get back which will make it 12 weeks but that's okay...I'm not really in a hurry.....

No place exotic...a wedding in NJ, Houston (for business), Oklahoma (family), AZ (home), DC (Family & business) and a couple of days in Amsterdam then back here....
Since we bought the house in AZ, we like to go there on holidays and do stuff...I'm sure at some point we will regret not traveling some more here towards the end...but it's SO nice to have a house that's ours....
