Just wanted to mention some things. Maybe I should list them as more reasons why I am glad I had this surgery.
More positive changes since I had the surgery:
1. Rode my bike Saturday with the kids and my husband. Was able to do more than just one lap. I definitely took a lot of breaks on the side of the road. But I haven't ridden that much in at least a couple of years.
2. Same day we hit some tennis balls around on the court with the kids. We couldn't really

Wow. I am so thankful I was able to have this surgery. I've never been able to lose weight like this before. I will weigh probably Wednesday, but I know I have lost at least 20 pounds already. Before the pre-op diet and surgery, I was really in a place where I had to start to lose weight or my life which was already suffering was going to be even more seriously hindered.

Ate some minced chicken with light dressing. I was full after a few bites. I had to wait 30 minutes after drinking to eat. And 30 minutes after eating to drink. I wondered how this would be for me. But it was no problem.
Also the head hunger seems gone since I had some non-liquid food. Yea!!!
I really feel content with my food at this stage. I have lost a total of 15 pounds as of yesterday.
p.s. A few times since surgery my head started aching.

I am on a day liquid diet and my husband gave my kids some chips. They were the Lays Barbeque ones in the blue can. I always liked them because they were the right texture and crunch. But I politely asked for one. When my husband resisted my request I asked my son for one of his. He gave me one and I thoroughly licked both sides. I think I put it in my mouth and got all the seasoning off of it. Then I took it out and I was satisfied. I just wanted to share this information with someone.
