Re: IT'S GREAT TO BE HOME

Hi Ogretta,

Am so glad you are home. Now comes the fun part, friend. Just watch the

weight fall off. It is amazing. Just remember to eat a little bit or eat

until you are full. Remember what will happen if you eat too much. Well, talk

to you soon.

Wonderful news! Glad you are back. I am 6 weeks post op and I am

eating about the same amount I did at 2 weeks post op 4-6 ounces.

Just depending on what it is. If it is real solids I can only hold

about 4 oz. If it is soft food and I take my time eating I can get

in about 5 to 6 oz. When I was first post-op I ate about every 2

hours. Now I am doing the 3 meals per day with 1 snack. I like to

feel hungry and my dh says I get real cranky when I need food. It

just takes time for the stomach to heal and form new nerve endings

and signals to the brain. I found that Pepcid Complete after my noon

and dinner meals stopped the jitters that my stomach started getting

a couple of weeks post op. I have gone a week without any jitters.

I hope and pray that you have a wonderful recovery and a quick loss

so that you can go back and have the 2nd phase of the surgery.

Viau

Glad to hear you are home and resting well. I was in a hotel for a

week and you're right, nothing beats your own bed and pillows! Don't

worry too much about food right now. I know the after the first few

days of eating liquids and bland mushed foods, I got a rasberry

slushy thing from Ruby Tuesdays and it was the best tasting thing I

think I ever had. I only had about 1/2 of it but it did reawaken my

tastebuds some! Take care and congratulations on your first surgery!
