9 days out from surgery and I am not as sore and hurting so much now, I mean its much better anyway.  The most of my problem has been weakness.  Very very weak.  I knew this was not going to be easy but damn at the emotions I am having.  I cry because I get so weak just taking a shower and just dont feel like myself.  I know given more time I will do better and better.  It's just right now, it is hard.  The one thing I miss is chugging water.  I love to gulp cold water on a hot day and it upsets me so that I cant do this.  I am able to tolerate most everything I am eating and I am happy about this.  The other problem for me is I am affraid to eat too much and I stop maybe too soon.  I am scared of getting sick and really I guess this is a good thing. 
It is hard getting in all the protein they want you to get.  I am tired of the protein shakes....they add to me being thirsty.  I hate mu mout h being so dry and cant drink all the water I would love to drink to be satisfied.  I have a trick though...ice.  It helps to have a cup of ice to munch on. 
I have lost about 20 pounds already, 303 day of surgery and now I am 283.  This is cool but geesh I am washed out right now.  I hope things will improve and I am sure they will.  Later....
