I had my surgery on 11-9-2010. Everything went really well and have had more pain today from sitting at work all day. I now know why they recommend 2 weeks off! Thanks to all of you who said you ate during your two weeks. I ate dinner every other night because I was getting headaches. I look at this as a life change and that I have eaten 36 years of McDonalds so I am ready for the life change.
