Here I am on the JOURNEY

Mar 14, 2015

Had my surgery Wednesday the 11th.  All went well.  Came home Thursday evening.  Sleeping Thurs and Fri quite a bit.  No surprises.  I started my journey with a lot of education both in youtube and here.  Here on OH is where I gained the most education and advice.  I feel I was (am) well prepared for the rest of the journey.  I have done good about gas issues, a little pain in the chest occasionally.  Woke up yesterday morning with "poot poot poot".  Such a great noise to my ears and feeling to my body.  I know I am not doing the full 64 oz of liquids yet but doing ok.  My urine output is decent and pale.  I was 234 Wed morning and 228 this morning.  My son said it was just "stomach" weight.  LOL.  I am taking some protein in with the WHEY liquid protein tube (walmart.. 6 tubes for about $15.) contains 42gms protein in 3.8oz.  Doesnt taste great but not too bad considering the benefit.  Also a chewable flinstone w iron vitamin.  When I first came home, my 10 year old granddaughter had made me something to eat, some of my favorites, tuna with cottage cheese and applesauce and vanilla pudding.  I tried to explain to her that i was getting my nourishment through liquids right now.  She ate the dinner for me.  Last night she told her mother that she was afraid that I was going to die of starvation because I wasn't eating any food.. So I tried to explain more to her.  So not quite as prepared as I though.  All in all, it is going good for now.  When I feel that little "twinge" in my belly, drink some water or juice.  Y'all have been tremendous help to me.. Thank you
