Hello all.  I got to start solid food yesterday!!  It was great!  I ate some wheat thins and cheese for lunch and sirloin tips and mashed potatoes for dinner.  It was sooo good.  No problems with any of it so far.  I have lost 33 pounds snce surgery which was 5 weeks ago today.  I have lost 44 pounds all together.  I have went from a size 26/28 to a 22/24.  I feel GREAT!  I go back in two weeks for solid group 2. 

Yesterday was my first experience of drinking and then eating.  I thought I was going to die!!  I had come in the house and it was hot outside, so I took a big drink of water.  I didn't wait 30 min. to eat, and that was a MISTAKE!!  I had to throw up to make myself feel better.  Let me tell you I won't make that mistake again!! 

I am also having problems with being constipated.  I am taking milk of mag, but I don't want to get addicted to it to have a BM.  But I feel horrible if I don't.  I am only a few days over a month out, so I guess everything can't be great.
