6 days after surgery, Well, I'm still here! Had a great day today, had a little peach yogurt, how heavenly!! Well, things do get better with time...I first few aren't too good, just make sure you have good support at home....this is my first week home and I am bored already. Waiting for the opportunity to go out and do something. Located my scales from a friend....no weight loss as my scale measures, even though I haven't seen them in almost a year! Don't make this mistake....go by 1 scale and forget it. I will be weighing in at Dr. A's next Friday so, I'll find out then. I need some ideas about what people are eating in their first week. I have a friend who is at 7 weeks, who has never blended, never powdered, at all! Of course she's losing weight. So, how about the rest of you guys, what are you doing? I'm afraid to move around, I feel like I'm in somebody elses body, like I'm a robot or something, seems like my chest is heavy, weird feeling, hard to describe.....May we have better days ahead.....God bless...........babs
