After the initial toot heard ’round the world, there’s been no additional passing of gas. Which presented a problem at yesterday’s meals.

Breakfast went fine, but lunch caused much discomfort. Dinner went smoother.

We’re not leaving until I have a bowel movement (that way we’re here if there are any complications) so we’re back to wishing for more gas.

Who knew that this would be the hard part of it all?

My abdomen continues to get stronger and I’m incredibly mobile — lots of walking every day. I’m still losing weight though. This morning I clocked in at 58.6kg. (I’ll let you do the math, but to compare, I was 59.6kg two days ago.)

Baby steps continues to be the name of the game.
