I love to walk. I take my CD player and play some upbeat music and enjoy the fresh air. It helps my gas and digestion move and it helps me clear my head. Take baby steps. You are less than two weeks out. It takes time to get moving. Hugs, Trish

Hey there! Man yeah I struggle to drink that much........I just dont want it....and naps...seems I gotta have them daily so that takes time away that I could be drinking water and protein...so wen Im up I just try to keep protein with me and sip on it...but thats hard too. My 2 wk follow-up is tomorrow and I THINK I have lost 18 pounds but we will see the official total tomorrow.......... Are you guys still sore when you sit for periods of time? My lap sites look great but man are they still sore....

Hi Traci, glad to see you are getting better day by day. I am pretty good, but have been more tired the last few days. I still dont sleep all that well at night so I think I am just worn down somewhat. I have tried not to worry too much about the water/protein thing, but make sure I eat/drink something at least every 1/2 (when I am awake). I also talked to my dietician and have added somethings to my diet - scrambled eggs, chunky soup blended, potatoes and carrotts blended. Today I had a 1/2 of a ice cream sandwich and had 1/4 c of cottage cheese. All seems to be staying down. Tomorrow I go for my post op check, hopefully all is ok. Cindy

Hi Holli! Glad you are feeling great. I feel okay but still struggling to get my water and protein in. Hugs and Keep Up the Good Work!!! Traci

Sorry you've had such a tough time. HOpe everything goes well from here on. Sounds like you were lucky to have a great doctor. Dianna
