hey all....everything is going pretty good considering i just had surgery at noon on friday. i am quite surprised! but now i'm home and i'm a little nervous about starting the full fluids.

any suggestions? i was thinking of having a little yougurt and drink for breakfast, and seeing how that goes.

so excited to be on bench with you all

Just take it very slowly - that little swollen pouch fills up very quickly right now so soon after surgery, and you might not feel it until it's too late.  Tiny sips of everything, no gulping, constant sipping - it used to take me an hour to get down a carnation breakfast thing, and I couldn't finish the whole thing.  Water in between meals - gotta keep the fluids up right now.  Just go slow, slow, slow!

Had RNY surgery July 22/11, St. Joe's Hamilton, with the awesome Dr. Scott Gmora.  Had abdominoplasty August 2/13, Scarborough, with equally awesome Dr. Michael Kreidstein.
