It will pass.....lol! Keep walking as much as you can. I was so exhausted when I got home - but things got better quickly! Drink your water and move around.

I may have to try that lol I woke up this morning to a gurguling tummy so maybe that means good things are about to happen lol. My doc said hes never seen someone walk as much as I did. Well when nurses are gonna wake you every hour thats one issue and I would rather walk because it helped with the sensation of I was about to pop. I start on protein today. Hopefully that will help too.

I came home a week ago and feel so much better. I thought I had all this fluid and eating down until I got home. It is coming easier, though. Can't stop smiling about being on the looser's bench!
