Hi Pattye, well we're out 1 and 2 weeks already, have you stepped on the scale. I did yesterday just for the fun of it, 8# in 5 days, wow! I'm getting along pretty well, every day gets better. I drinking full liquids now and doing OK, found out the hard way that I should have drained the juice off the peaches (forgot about the sugar content), thank goodness I had only 2-3 tiny bites cause I sure hurt for about 1/2 hour, bad gas cramping. That is probably the only pain I have now is the gas pains but they are getting less each day. The g-tube sure is bothersome but can live with that too. How's it going up your way? Call or "post" when you can. Lynnette
