Had my MGB in Belgium on december 10 and im back home, drain is out and im off pian killers. Surgery was 35 minutes, and went great. My incisions are teeny tiny and wont be too bad. Ive lost 8 lbs to far...getting in about 100 calories (70-100) a day and as much water as i can handle. My peepee was dark orange so  I had to make my main focus on getting in my water. Havent went potty yet...which is kinda scary, but ill go to my GP by friday if I dont "do the deed by then" Im getting in lots of walking...which really really helps you feel better.

Also my momma got me hooked on a website called sparkpeople. my husband is addicted to it now. u can put in everything u ate and it shows the nitritional facts. pretty cool actually. but I still love my OH and think you guys are just the greatest.

thank you so much for all ur support and happy thought and love and prayers! Im looking forward to this road ahead of me!!

 Welcome home.  It's great to read that you're doing so well.  Keep up the good work of getting in your fluids and walking.  I used to use sparkpeople, but switched to myfitnesspal . com right before surgery.  I log my food daily.
