Hi All, I am now 40 days post op and doing great. Trying new foods all the time and now have a little bit of a variety to eat. I can now eat chicken, salads, fruit, and bread, still can't eat pasta (rice or noodles). At my last doctors visit I had lost 32 pounds which was last thrusday, and I feeling good. I see the weight lose in my clothes, watch, and jewlery but I personnally can't see it in the mirror. I guess the mind has to catch up with it. I still have my bad days, but they are getting few and far between. Thanks to everyone for their support, especially to my Mother and Father-in-law, they are the greatest! Have a wonderful Day!
