    Default Had my surgery today

    Came home today. Surgery done at 8 discharge at 4. During X-ray for leak test they said I had a lot of swelling, so dye wasn't going down all the way. They waited another 30 mins and then took one again and cleared me. I'm in so much pain. Can't drink anything. Chest hurts so much. They said its gas trying to escape but it's been several hours already. I'm in so much pain

    Just wanted to update. Doing better, most of the chest/gas pains are gone, but I'm getting hungry like crazy. Stats are as follows:

    11/2/16: 333lbs
    11/17/16 (Day of surgery): 323lbs
    11/23/16: 308lbs

    Any advice? I'm so hungry. Encouraged by the scale, but my self proclaimed "fat-itis" has kicked in. Just not happy with the progress even though I know it's pretty decent, and terrified it will stop tomorrow.
