Great News Liz.  Bob

Congratulations on your surgery!! Sounds like you are off to a good start.

I've heard rumors of the bloating from the gas that they pump into ya!!! MySpace Comments & MySpace Layouts Hugs Barb

Hey Liz, sounds like you are doing great, just keep siping, siping, walking,walking. The gas/bloating feeling is normal and it will take awhile to go away, but that to will get better. Keep on keeping on. Cheryl

question 2 week so out and you have no hunger?  I am  about 10 days out, and all I think about is food.  I think I could eat a bear as big as my well you know...am I adnormal?

Maybe it's "head hunger".

right,,no hunger,,I do battle with " head hunger ",,but not my tummy growling saying I better get some food in me..I try to only eat a few time'sa day,.,something small,,,sugar free popsicles save my butt

Hi Liz, sounds like you are off to a great start in just the past month.  Keep working it girl. You won't actually feel stomach growling hunger pains until further out, mine hit me at 8 months.  Even now I forget to eat, but I do manage to finally get in my water supply.  Protein drinks still don't settle with my tummy, but I blame that on the chemo pills.  You have a great Dr. and it's great you can go back to work.  Just remember you will still tire easily so don't over do it. 

Your doing great just hang in there and keep up the good work !
