Hi Y'all-

2 weeks ago today I was lying on an operating table. Today I'm back to work for the first time, and so far so good. I would have posted earlier, but my internet has been down. I am still experiencing sensitivity around my incisions, but feeling pretty good. I've been learning (the hard way) what I can and cannot eat and how much. It's been a test. But so far, no dumping. Yeah. Will post more later.

Congrats to you. Keep up the good work and just remember to take it one day at a time. Don't over do it because you will get tired easy. I'm glad you are back on the forum and remember if you need anything to let us know.

Congratulations! You've come through with flying colors! Eating at this point is trial and error. You won't forget the food that makes you feel bad.

Please do take it easy. 2 weeks and being back at work after major surgery will make you very tired. Take good care of yourself and God Bless.

"People will argue with you that getting what you want in life isn’t something you can learn, if you’re destined to be one of the worlds winners as opposed to one of its perpetual whiners, its because you have been born with the right talents and temperament and have a big dose of self-esteem, ambition, and good judgment."

Aubrey,
It is not at all unusual to be sore around the incision. Our doctor said that especially on the left side which is where he "anchors" when he sews us back up. Just take things slow and easy, your body has been thru a lot. Congrats on the awesome weight loss, keep it up.
