I first want to THANK ALL OF YOU for your support and kind words - and for checking up on me. SECOND prayers to all of you who have upcoming November dates. I am getting better each day, the gas is still bad .... but i am walking walking walking and then walking! getting almost EVERYTHING in (my whole 2 oz ) per meal is challanging and takes 1/2 hour. it is getting easier each day, the HARDEST part not be able to be scooping up mt PRINCESSES! that is KILLING ME! thankfully my MOM is hear for a MONTH with us to help out (BOY IS SHE GREAT!) MY whole family has been pitching in. the pain ,,,,, not bad at all !!!!!!!!!! I have only taken the pain meds 2 timew *to help me fall a sleep) I am a belly sleeper and that back sleeping just isn't working for me. I can cathch no more than 2 / 3 hours at a stretch. I am a mom of three little ones and always on the run ... I am not tired ... because I have help and THEY are doing all of the HARD work. I go Thursday to get theese drains out ....

Thanks for thte update Britt... So glad to hear that you are doing so well.... It is good to know about how drastic your tastes changed.... I have been trying to guess which protien drinks I like now that I won't like because of how sweet they taste... guess I won't know till I am there huh.... I can't even imagine my sense of smell getting even more sensitive.. I already can smell everything.... Well, best wishes on a continued speedy recovery... Shawn M.

Hi Britt, So very happy for you. Hey you can't scoop up the girls, but they can sit on your lap, carefully and cuddle, no? Hey I'm happy it's over for you and you have such good help,Thnk how great the holidays will be, you'll feeel so much better by then.And your pants will be falling down. LOL ((((( hugs ))))) Cissy

Thank you for the great update. I'm so happy you are getting stronger each day, and that you have all the help. I've heard that our taste will change, but its the first I've heard about the smell !! Hmmm wonder why that is?? Keep up the good work !! Huggs & Blessings, Lori

Hi Britt. Good to hear from you again.Seems like that gas just wants to hang in there awhile, huh? I wonder if I will have gas also? I don't think they have to inflate my stomach at all for the Open RNY, right? Hope not. It's wonderful that you have your whole family helping out. It's nice to hear how much you appreciate your Mom. make sure to let her know it as well. Sometimes we wait too long and then it is too late. I lost my Mom 2 and a half years ago to morbid obesity and all the illness that come with it. She was 74, but suffered for 15 years with diabetes, heart failure, heart disease, high cholestrol, high blood pressure and all the other complications from diabetes. That is why I am here. I'm 55 and I do not want to live the same life my Mom did. So, keep up the good work and you'll soon be running around with your girls in no time! How fortunate for them that they have a very SMART Mom who is taking the right step to get healthy! ((((HUGS)))))) Peg G.

Hi Britt - So glad to hear that you are doing SOOOO well! That's just super! I was really interested to hear your comments about the protein stuff - wonder if your tastes will return to more normal after you heal a bit more. Finding a protein drink to work with in the mean time could be pretty challenging. Let us know how you're doing on that. Keep the faith, girl, you'll soon be scooping your princesses up and holding them even closer! Hugs, Stephanie
