			Thx for all the replys. I haven't had to take any insulin since the surgery and already dropped one of my blood presure pills WOOT! I must be healing fast cause I have no more pain in the stomache area, but my girlfriend helped me get out of my chase lounge and pulled me to hard and I pulled a back muscle which led to me pulling my lower back muscles also. and then got gout in both my damn feet, I guess from eating cream of chicken soup strained. so for the past few days I have been stuck here hurting like a MoFo. I wake up today with a crick in my neck on top of the other ****. I am very happy I have had this done and hope to be back on the water in 2 months they said no pushing or pulling anything over 10lbs for 8 weeks so I am sticking with what the doctor says. The only question I have is, when can I start on pureed foods? it says 10 days to 3 weeks to be on full liquids but they seem to go right through me. I tried some soft scrambled eggs few days ago just to see and all was well, but I don't want to mess this up so I went stright back to creamed soups, water, crystal light, and my protein shake. ohh and have any of you that had the surgery noticed gas pains??? I belive I was drinking the shake to fast and it was going to my intestines to fast, so now I just sip on it and no more gas pains.

 10 days you will start with the eggs and stuff. as far as drinking, I had a hard time also, could not get enough in, had to have IV Fluid every 3 days to stay hydrated for about 2 months. Just go slow and and always have a drink in you hand!! Quote:

			I had my first case of constapation few days ago, but I think it was from the pain meds for my back and feet, it was horrible, I have some soft gels docalax on hand, cause I do NOT want to go throught that again, as far as the fluid intake goes, I am able to drink all I want, and when I eat I seem to get full after about 5oz so I guess my pouch is bigger than other ppl and I heard that some ppl cant even take 2oz so I feel for you bro. I havent had the dumping syndrome yet, but I sure dont want to. I will be extra carefull. Thank's for the answers. GOD Bless
