Hi All,

Things here are going well!! :thumbup: It's 20 days later and so far I have been on vacation with my sisters for the last 10 days! I was able to keep up with them and feel no pain. What I did feel was upon taking that first bite of food a BIG air bubble. Somewhat uncomfortable and glad I was in a comfortable situation, not one with my in-laws!! I talked myself through it and after awhile it passed. What I can't get over is the gas (I don't mean burping!!) and the hiccups! What is this?? I can not burp although I feel like if I could belch a big one, it would be GREAT!! The flatulence is really annoying!! Anyone else experiencing this? Does it lessen over time or does my family have to put up with a farter for the rest of our lives? Jeezee! If only I could belch!

Okay, so no pain from the surgery anymore! Thank God!! :rolleyes2: I do find myself eating when I am not hungry tho. That must be the compulsive overeater in me. I will have to watch that. I will keep a good eye on it. I don't want any slippage or problems from the LB so I am going to do my part!! It's hard. I have nothing but a protein drink in the AM then I am hungry at dinner. And I do eat a garden or black bean burger for dinner. Sometimes all of it and sometimes just half. I always try to eat a salad before my burger. A few hours later, a bite at snack time(literally) will do ya! It does me! Thank God for the LB!!:rolleyes2:

Hope all are doing well! If you know a secret to getting rid of the hiccups; let me know!
