So glad that you are home and doing quite well!  As well as can be expected after having your belly pumped full of air that just needs to find its way out!  Hopefully that will happen quickly and you can get rid of that pain. 
Glad that your surgery went well and best of luck from here on out

So I think that I'd like to sign up for the "cranial sleeve"!!! I think that so much of this is in my head!

56 lbs is amazing and it's not always easy to quiet the negative voices in your head, but as someone else said, think about it like you were dealing with someone else because "we" would never be so hard on others as we are on ourselves!  

Keep up the hard work of losing, you are doing great

Wow glad to hear you're home & doing well!!!  For the gassy pain have you tried gas-x strips?  I know it's from the air that they pump into your belly but I found it helped anyway - it also helped with the nausea I had... It might be worth a try if you haven't tried it.  It goes away pretty fast anyway  :))  Welcome home!

The pain is mostly gas pain which can get uncomfortable at times. I am on no pain killers though only tylenol then gravol for the upset stomach. Not sleeping a whole lot really. Havent had a good nights sleep in quite awhile not even while on pain killers. I walk quite a bit but doesnt seem to *relieve* me of the gas pains though although it worked on my boyfriend.lol

what do you wanna be when you grow up little girl? i wanna be a loser and sit on the bench sir! (45 lbs lost pre op) 300lbs starting weight, currently 141lbs! Lowest has been 135lbs and hoping to get back to that.
