I have days where I think I did a great thing...Then there are days when I wonder what the Heck I did to myself. I miss food somedays. I don't want to seem ungrateful for the gifts in my life though. I'm going through some changes at home so I Hope thats most of my problem. I have lost some weight and I have this feeling to start a new job. I'm having a hard time dealing with leaving my 9 year old. I've always been home with him... But thats a whole other story.
Pattye, thanks for this post, Its informative!!!

have you had any complications....No. I was quite nauseated in the hospital due to the anethesia, but that's always common with me. Everything seems to be going quite easy right now. I enjoy fixing wonderful meals, trying new recipes, and not sitting down to eat them. I feel more comfortable eating soft foods than I do trying whole protein. Just nervous about something getting stuck. I still get tired by taking a simple shower but hey, I am only 3 weeks out. I am ready for a active and fun filled summer with my twins. I am ready to start camping and going on hiking trails and enjoy this wonderful gift I have been blessed with. I am cooking healthier meals for my family. and knowing that they are eating right. I know I am doing this for all of us.
