19 Days Post Op and down 26 pounds!

I'm almost 3 weeks post op and just in the last 2 days I felt more normal. I still have soreness in my belly area. My drain hole still isn't healed or completely closed up and it's painful since it's at my waist band area. I'm still on liquids and soupy soft foods until I would guess Mon when I go in for my 2nd check up. I'm having problems w/ things like grits, mashed potatoes, bananas wanting to get stuck in my throat no matter how much I chew them and then I'll burp and it'll come back up. I have to burp until it all comes out or it feels like it's stuck. I'll even burp up bubbles. I hope this isn't anything to be concerned about. I haven't been sick to my stomach at all really so I'm thrilled about that.

Congrats. It took me awhile to get use to eating as well. It will come in time. I hope you will be able to join us in the walk on Sept. 24. See my post below. Terry G RNY/LAP 4/28/04 548/170 -378
