how is everyone feeling?

Hi all!  I am new to this board.

I am feeling great and have to admit, I have not found anything hard to eat, much to my dismay!!  I, too, need to slow down more, I tend to rush, then it sits there and hurts.  Oh well, live and learn!

Things I need to work on:
NO snacking
Exercise
Slow down eating

I'm looking forward to getting to know you all!!

Welcome to the board and congrats on you weight lost so far.  I have found so much good information on this website.  I hope to get to know you as well on this amazing journey!

I'm not finding anything too hard to eat but I'm often light headed and feeling like I'm going to throw up...I'm jealous of all you that are have no problems...I want my day to come!!!

 Hi, I'm new to this board also, wish I would have found it sooner.
I am a little over 4 weeks out. The recuperation was brutal but as of this weekend I am feeling soooo good. I have lost 39 lbs. so far and feel real good. The swelling in my stomach has finally gone down where I was able to go into the next size down in clothes. I have an issue with constipation and am trying to figure out how to avoid this very painful side effect. 
I hate to say that I don't get my protein in except from things I eat. I am still on a restrictive diet until tomorrow but then what? Can I eat normal foods...like salad? 
Anyway, really glad to have found this site.
