So here I am 8 days out and doing fab! I have learned a few things in the last couple of days such as:
*Even room temperature water upsets my pouch but warm tea and broth is my friend 
*I can take pretty good size sips without any reprocussions.
*I am almost healed and the insicion sights ITCH! I have to be carefeul not to scratch the scabs off.
*I require less sleep.
*I still get hungry.
*Food still smells good althought I am unsure it all will taste good.
I am still in quite a bit of shock that I feel so good. I have been sleeping in bed since I came home but the last 3 or 4 nights were heaven since I go to sleep on my belly. Getting in and out of bed isn't a problem and I walked about a mile with my parents yesterday. I have chewed food up and spit it out into the sink..........I think I am at the point where I am wondering if I am not the "control" for some experiment, you know.........the one who thinks she had the surgery but didn't to see if she too loses weight. I didn't expect to actually feel hungry or for foods to smell/taste good but they do  I guess I can't complain, time to re-learn and start living! I feel so blessed and so lucky. The only discomfort I feel is what inflict upon myself!
I think I have dropped about 25lbs......i'll find out this afternoon at my appt. Thanks for reading and walking this walk with me.
