Woohoo, Micah! I can't believe you are nearly at the century mark already. I'm beginning to think I'll never get there! Congratulations, girlfriend, I'm so glad you are doing so well!

Micah, I just read your post and I can so sympathize with you. You sound just like I did at 3 weeks. I am almost 7 weeks now and things are really looking up. I get the head hunger too, but I can't eat what I am craving... I know it will make my stomach hurt and make me feel bad, so I chew a pretzel or a baked tortilla chip with cheese. I sit and watch my family eat and I feel bad, I wish I could wolf down dinner like I used to. But I have lost 45 lbs and I do not want a single pound of it back. I feel so much more in control of myself and my eating, and even though some days when I want to eat and I can't get much of anything to go down, I feel better than I did pre-op. You will feel better with each passing day. It will be worth it, I promise you. Keep your chin up, and I'll be praying for you. Email me anytime you need a shoulder to lean on! God bless you! Mary C.

Micah - I am 13 days post - op and want you to know that I have been having the same issues. At day 9 - I posted a question on this site - asking if the way I was feeling is normal. I rec'vd lots of answers all saying mostly that this phase is normal. Check-out the Q&A postings and you will find that you are not alone. I am also updating my profile regulary - bet we will find that we are going through the same things. Best of luck.

Hello every one, I am 8 days post op and just thought I would give you guys a little update: Well Im feeling really tired and hate that, I am constantly drinking my water or juice, I have added proteinex to just a little bit of crystal light and that makes all the difference in the world, plus it is 15grams of protein, I have been taking daily walks.. but why am I feeling so tired, it just hit me yesterday ..like POW, yesterday I did attempt to go back to class and I took my son to the DR. and when I got home, I have been out of it ever since.. Well Im really sick of the diet, I have been living off of jello and malto-meal and I had cream of broccoli soup with cheese on top yesterday, but I just need some more variety.. Well I love all of you guys, and I prey for the ones who are awaiting insurance approval and best wishes to those who have surgery dates.. I love ya...Peace and Love.

WOW! I saw Micah last night, and she looks FABULOUS! If I didn't know any better, I wouldn't have even known that she had surgery! The pain medicine was making her a big groggy, but other than that - she was sitting up, moving around, eating, etc. She thinks that she will get to go home on Saturday, but it wouldn't surprise me one bit if they let her go home today! Again Micah, I am so PROUD OF YOU!!! You did great, girl! Woo-hoo!!! :)
