oh - I am still having the upper cavity gas a little bit - but its not a big deal. I think its actually keeping me from feeling hungry cuz its that "full" feeling after turkey dinner hahah

I keep burping and walking. Water goes down easier if its room temp than cold right now, which stinks cuz I love cold water - but i'll get there

Yaaaay!!! Oh my goodness, I'm getting so excited and nervous!

I was a little nervous until I got there - then all nerves went away

glad you are doing so well!

Congratulations on starting your journey! And welcome to the "loosers bench"! I can so identify with your problems at the airport. I flew (by myself) back to California from Iowa after my surgery. Had to go through O'Hare in Chicago, which is an old airport, with no "moving sidewalks", trams or such. I walked from one tereminal to another to catch my connection. By the time I was done, I had walked for almost an hour! I was so upset with myself that I didn't think ahead to book a wheelchair for myself. By the time I got to my gate I was so tired that I fell asleep waiting for my connection!

Take care of yourself, and best wishes!
