I'm home....
Hey guys I made it home from surgery yesterday and doing pretty good. Pain is pretty minimal now just a little on my left side but bearable. Now comes the task of learning to eat in the new fashion.
Wanted to say thank you to all of you that sent me well wishes, they were greatly appreciated. You all are inspirations when thinking about this new journey. Thank you to Terri for this visit, was really nice to finally meet you and see a friendly face.
Now I can official say "I'm a loser!!"

Christy,
So glad to hear you are home and doing well! Just take it one step at a time. I remember those early days for me. I wrote everything down. It seemed like so much to remember and keep track of at the time. But it really becomes easier and the time passes faster than you think it will.
Again Congratulations!
Debbie

Glad to hear you are home, and relatively comfortable Christy. You're such a loser
. Just remember to sip, and walk as much as you are comfortable doing. You're right, the challenging part is learning how to eat. Each phase of your diet will bring new challenges, but new rewards as you find things you like, and things that your pouch likes. Just take it slow, and be patient with yourself.
The pain you are feeling might just be gas. If you haven't already done so, you might want to get some Gas-X strips. They were such a big help to me. I'm not a Doc, and don't even play one on TV, but I do remember the only pain I felt was from a bit of gas.
Congrats, and welcome to the bench!
