is it just me

After reading this I've discovered that I'm super lucky so far in avoiding these problems. I'm not very sore, liquids going down fine, and have enough energy. I'm sooooooooo sorry things aren't going so well for others :( I did have a hellish day yesterday (surgery day) from gas and nausea but it seems to have passed.

Make sure you're all getting in enough protein and stuff even though that may be hard. You need good nutrition to heal! I hope it all gets better for all of you! We've all worked hard to get to this point.

Just keep thinking of after you heal! You will be back on solid foods and happily eating (small portions) yet losing weight! Certainly something to look forward to! Take care of yourselves and get better fast!

every passing day finds me feeling better and better. i am not as tired in the afternoons, not as sore. all my incision are healing nicely, i have some drainage from the port site, but they said that is normal and expected.

today i am wearing jeans! i hadnt yet b/c they irritated my one incision when i sit and i sit alot at work. but, today, i did the rubber band trick from when i was prego and its working great. besides they are falling off already! even when i have them butttoned right, they are big! i am so excited. already thinking of all the new clothes i will get to buy. :whoo:

i start mushies in a few days. i am surprised that the liquids havent been as hard as i thought. dont get me wrong, i have had my occassional melt down and wanting of "real" food, but its ok. i am ok. i am good. i am losing!
