Anyone on fitbit?  I was hoping to find some friends on there... my username is mommaof4yoopers.  I've only had one 15,000 step day but hope to have more!

Congratulations!  The anesthesia really did a number on me, too.  Good luck, it is the best thing I've done for myself.

 It is difficult for someone to offer unsolicited advice.  This happens to all of us on occasion and I get so much more ramped up if it's something I'm passionate about.  I think it's a wonderful decision and I agree with the post that if there were surgical options for alcohol and tobacco the acceptance by society would be widespread.  

I'm nearly at 2 months and I have to say there have been mild up and downs but overall I am feeling so much better.  When you feel like you are truly living life and not just in a shell, you will be very happy.  I'm sure of it!

 congratulations!

 congratulations!

 well there is just less of the natural churning... for example chicken is rather fibrous and post-op it really is a chore to digest it!  Pre-op it was a staple for me.  Also, with pastas, rice, breads some have had experiences where the food expands bringing an unpleasant feeling!

 congratulations!
