Hi Kellykelly:

So - how are you doing?  How much have you lost since your surgery?   Do you have a better variety of choices now to eat?  What was the post-op seminar like? What meal did they give you? LOL, I'm just full of questions.

Had my surgery Tuesday, March 8th and got home Wednesday evening.  Dr. Blackstone said everything went great. No drain, naseau, or anything.  I've had very little pain.  I made the mistake of letting the pain get on top of me at the hospital because I didn't like the liquid lorotab.  So, instead of asking them to order a tablet and pill spit it in half, I just went back to bed. This was a mistake that I paid dearly for.  That much pain cut into my walking and sipping time (very important).  It's really hard to get that much water in when you have to take small sips and take time in between sips. After I got control of the pain, the SPA lady showed up and gave me a great facial and massage. That made everything all better.

I'm feeling good today, just one and a half days post surgery. Of course still doing clear liquids.  I think it may get a little more difficult when I have to start making food choices next week.  Good luck to you all.  So far, really, easy time.
