Taking my seat on the bench...

Hi all, I had my surgery yesterday morning and was home by 3.  Some minor discomfort, but nothing too major.  The biggest challene is getting my liquids in.  It tales about 2 hours to finish my protien shake and about an hour for a small glass of water. I seem to have a lot of energy, but am forcing myself to take it easy.   Just wanted to let you all know I was doing well and thank you for your support!

So glad that you popped in to tell us how you are doing. The drinking will get better, I promise you. Christine

Congratulations.  It was hard for me to get all my fluids in at first too.  I still have to watch the clock to make sure I get in all my 6, half cup meals a day.  I try to measure all my food to make sure I get the 1/2 cup I'm suppose to have.  I am just now starting to experience hunger pains if I miss a meal. I go for my first fill on the 17th. Wishing you all the best in your recovery. Shelley

Congradulations!  WOW they zipped you in and out of that surgery!   Now all you have to sit back and just loose!  Welcome to your new life!                                                                                 Pam

Congratulations. Glad everything went well.  Just keep sipping all day long and you will get the liquids in.  And do take it easy for awhile, at least until the doc says you can excrsise again.

I managed to walk about a half mile today (1/4 mile 2 times) and am still feeling great.  I had a bout of hiccups for about 5 minutes when I took too many sipps in a row of my protien shake.  I managed to get in 90 grams of proties today (75 so far, still working on the last protien shake of the day).

Congratulations on a successful surgery!
