My grandma told me it didn't get there over night so don't expect to loose it over night. I just remind myself this only going to get better no matter how long it takes. No more yo yo diets. This is for real and permanent and patience is needed to see results.

Nice job

Oh one last thing. I feel regrets too. First it was because of pain but now I'm remembering all the good food I used to stuff down my throat with ease and the great feeling that comes with it. Also feeling regrets because of what I've done to my body. My stomach I've had since birth cut in half....well more then in half. I sit and think how permanent it is and how I feel like I've mutilated myself and I am no different then these crazy stupid celebrities who nip and tuck and cut away. But then I remember I had a real problem and a real addiction. Also being that I am a bible reader I think of Matthew 5:30 where it says if your hand makes you stumble cut it off. Now ofcourse Jesus did not mean literally but he was showing the extnt in which we should stop doing something such as stealing. So it was metaphoric or poetic. Well me personally I did to ahead and literally cut off my stomach but it makes me feel like a failure but at least now my food intake will be controlled which is something I had a big problem with.

I had my surgery the same day as you. Only stayed in the hospital 1 day. The doc and staff pretty much convinced me that I was doing so good I could go home. In actuality I was doing ok. No vomiting, no nausea, and fluids were getting down good (despite the pain when eating). So I took their advice and went home. Ugh I wish I would have stayed two more days. I really could have used the rest. Going home means returning to everyday life and really your not ready for that. Thank goodness though my mother came in town and helped me out quite a bit. The first few days I did. It want to drink smoothies or the nasty protein soup. I just wanted water, but each day got better. I'm really ready for some real flavor in my life. I'm so torn because my doc says liquids two week but then you read about other people saying there doc sent them home on purée already or at least by the second week. Then there is the extreme where some are on liquids almost three weeks. I've learned recently though that it must depend on on what you can handle because I liked a spoon that had Greek yogurt on it and my stomach was not feeling it. too each his own I guess.
