Hey everyone, Thought it was about time I checked in. I feel 1000% better than a week ago. Thought I was dying LOL. I haven't weighed myself yet, Iknow the first few weeks can be a yoyo and I don't want to get discouraged. I have my post op appt. on Friday and get this STUPID drain out. I swear it is the most irritating thing in the world, that and my dog thinks it a toy for him and keeps trying to dive for it, Uhhhg. I still am a bit sore especially the drain port that is pulling at the stiches so I know as soon as I get it out I will feel a lot better. Started really walking yesterday, just didn't feel up to it, but I did a good 10 min today and I am going to start building. Most of the time I have to wait until evening because of the heat!! I am living with two bottles by my side as we speak, one with protien shake and another with water and that is how I have been since I got home. I know I haven't hit 60 g protien yet but I am working on it. Honestly the hardest thing I am finding is when to stop drinking. I don't feel hungry and I don't feel full, I only feel the OVER FULL, so I am going to have to really use my 1oz cups to measure becasue I have the overfull feeling. I am glad to be back and love you all Trish

So glad to hear you are doing so well. I'm sure you'll be even better once the drain is out. I bet that it's really strange to feel over full! Hope you continue to get better each day. The Lord has certainly blessed you hasn't he? I remember how frustrated and scared you were when you first posted and now look at you. You keep on going girl!!! Karen
