Here's an update for me. Had surgery late Saturday evening. The first day I was in a good amount of pain and nauseous. Now I only take pain meds if I need them, which I still do because of gas pains. Those have been the worst so far. I'm trying to get my fluids in. Drink whenever I am not sleeping and walk around my block a few times a day. I'm not ready for work, but have until the 19th and hope I'll be great by then. Everyday gets a little better!! I'm not weighing myself until my dr appts.

Hey August 1sters - how are we all doing?

Had drainage tube out yesterday and feeling 100% better (strange feeling getting that pulled out).

Going back to work next week - desk job so no major lifting.

The doctor removed mine and did a local around the site and then sent some down the tube to numb the area and the diaphragm . I've heard without it that it produces quite the scream :)

So far down 10 (total 20 with pre diet).

It's my choice to go back - I own the company :). Will probably start off 4 hours a day and build up during the week.

Only seem to have gas issues in the morning - oh and when I drink too fast.

I keep asking my husband I let me smell his food :) he thinks I'm nuts but I am looking forward to "tasting" omething other than chocolate, vanilla or chicken broth !
