Hi everybody. Well its been a month since my DS surgery. I am down 28 pounds since surgery and 51 pounds from my heaviest and I am happy about that. I am feeling pretty good. Getting used to my new plumbing so to speak and flourescent yellow poops (TMI I know, sorry). I have finished with the pureed foods and am making my way up the food chain to the soft foods. I am thinking about adding some vegetables in a couple of weeks but right now I am working hard to get my protein in all with food as much as possible. I try to get to 100 grams of protein each day.  And I have been religious about taking my vitamins and staying on top of my fluids. All in all a good month. Thanks for all of your support. Hugs. Jo

Jo, 28 pounds is great! I am glad to know you are feeling good. It is hard to believe it has been a month already. Soon I will be right there with you! (hopefully) Amy

I can't wait to see you too and how skinny you are getting!! My husband is doing good. I think he was so glad I did so well with the surgery but evenmore so he is relieved to see me taking my vits and getting in my protein and fluids. So all is well in my world!
