hey guys... it felt so good to sleep in my own house last night. it is not easy to rest in a hospital . i am doing well i am in some pain but it gets better everyday. i do get hungry mentally hungry but i think it is from boredom really and my family eating around me plus talking about food every second. i never noticed how much people talk about food until. even people who dont have weight issues, what i am going to eat, what did you eat, are you going to eat, do you want to go get something to eat , foof food and more food.oh well just a week or how ever long and i can have full liquidstat wont be so bad |

Glad you're home safe and sound - the pain will pass in not time flat -- and soon you'll be back in school and too busy to even think about food, let alone be consumed with everyone around you talking about it!

I am so happy for you!! The pain will pass and you will feel better!! Mentally hungry that also will pass...or you will at least be able to control it. VegasAngel also said she noticed after the surgery she realized how much people talk about food and socialize about food. Just be careful when you start mushies, so you dont over do.... GLAD YOU ARE HOME-----Glad your done with your surgery. The pain will go away in time! It is just from the drain......I am 42 days out and feel good!! KEEP THE FAITH BABY! |

Congratulations! Glad you made it and are home now safe and sound.
Everytime i see food on the tv, which is like every single commercial, especially after 5pm, I have to switch it ASAP!! My husband always saying, hey, what happened to the show we were watching??!?!??!

Welcome home!
I understand about the food thing. I am not even sleeved yet and I am already tired of food talk 24/7. I have really been careful about my own food issue the last 4 months and I look around and see many people who have food issues too.

Hang in there Alisia. Just keep thinking about those new clothes you want. Maybe looking for a hot new outfit for the upcoming holidays.
Glad to see you are back home and doing ok.
