Hey Lynn! I am getting tightness on and off in my chest, or esophagus i guess. however u spell that. I get pretty hungry when i go to bed at night, my stomach growls, but the thought of eating food sounds gross, so does the thought of drinking any more water. But during the day i feel good. But yeah definately no unbarable or scary pain, just expected soreness from surgery. Are you excited to get to the soup stage? i am, i want to have the cambell select golden butternut squash soup. sounds yummy! i love squash ttys!
