hey traci !! I just got home, and decided to look around here for you.  glad i founf you.  everyone was sooo nice even though i was a hassel for them.  i had/have gas so much i feel like i could explode!!  that is the only really sucky part now.  how are you doing on the drinking.  i am better today, yeasterday i was a zombie! i am just trying to drink and keep the gas away!!!! stay ahead of the pain!!  morgan

I'm doing great!  I can't belive how good I feel.  Not having too much trouble drinking.  I do have to get better about the size of my sips.  I have sent a few down that reminded me just how small my tummy is now.  You would think I would get the hang of it, but if I nap and wake up to get a drink I gulp instead of sip, hopefully I will get it down soon.  I heard you in the hall ask someone if they sere soonergirl.  It was not me I had company and couldn't come catch up with you for a race.

Welcome to the bench Traci! Those big gulps at first can be a real killer! I am finally able to take bigger drinks but even still sometimes what was okay one time is too big the next time.

Welcome home Morgan!!!!  I'm sorry you had the yucky gas pains.  Just keep walking it off and stay on your meds.  I look forward to hearing all about this journey.  Keep us posted often!  It is so excited to see all the changes, challenges, and ultimate success everyone is having.  -Amy

Welcome home ladies!  Hang on for a wild ride!

Morgan, use a heating pad on your belly or your shoulders- where ever you are feeling the gas pains.  It really helps with the gas and pain!  I was attached to mine for a few days.

So glad you are doing well and have such a happy attitude!  The sipping thing will get better a little farther out since your new tummy will be less swollen and able to accept more.

Keep us all posted on your progress and I hope you are enjoying the view from the Loser's Bench!

Wooohoooo!  Glad you are doing well.

Glad your feeling good, BEWARE of day 3, for me and a couple others, day 3 was the worse day.  I felt like i was kicked by a mule, then hit by a train.  Gas-X strips worked wonders for me, and try to remember, the bigger the drink, the more the gas.

Glad your doing well
