Hello all....it's been one week since my surgery and I'm feeling great. I can't believe one week ago today I was trying to breathe and getting up for the first time and walking. Boy, that was fun. I do have to say though, walking is the best thing in the world for recovery. I started on full liquids today and thank goodness for protein shakes. They never tasted so good. It still amazes me that I did it, that drinking a small amount fills me up. I have had thoughts about food....dreams of pizza actually, but it goes away because I know I can't. While in the hospital I actually had a dream about pizza. Then I woke up and realized I was in the hospital. How sad huh? LOL. Anyway, I have to recomend BTC to anyone and every one who is considering having this surgery. I went through this with my dad and his surgeon did a good job but after, the lack of care and guidence is lacking so much. I am just thrilled with BTC, Dr. Boe and the staff at the hospital. It was an amazing experience. So, I'm doing great and I am so surpirsed that things have gone so fast. Thank you again to everyone for all the good wishes and comments, they were taken to heart and appreciated more than you know. Jennifer
