Hello everyone!!!

I had my surgery on June 30th and the doctor said everything went very well (I mention this because I was in so much pain he could've fooled me). I ended up staying in the hospital for a couple of days since the pain meds (morphine for after surgery and Hydrocodine for home) they gave me made me sick.

I understand why the first week is hell week. I had gas pains for days and I never thought it would go away. I will have to say I'm very lucky to have a husband that waited on me hand and foot for the first two weeks after the surgery. I'm also not sure how he put up with my constant releasing of gas, but he did

During the first 2 weeks I lost about 20 lbs, but it looks like I've reached that wonderful 3 week stall I've read so much about. I'm getting in all of my protein and water, so I'm going to try working out this week to see if that can jump start my weightloss.
