UPDATE

Hello Everyone!! I am officially 1 week out & doing great!! I returned home last Saturday from the hospital & was very low key until yesterday. Oh, I am still taking it easy but, I am up walking more & feeling pretty good about myself. Thanks again for all the good wishes. I will go to the doctor tomorrow to have my staples out & see what I weigh. I had a little dehydration problem the day after surgery & was retaining fluid. The wonderful staff a Crosby Medical Center took care of me & I hope I have lost most of that fluid. They got most of it off that next day. But, said it would take a little time for my body to catch up. I will keep you posted on my results & progress. Liz S Post Op 10-07-2004

Way to go Liz!! Congratulations. I hope you are feeling much better. Just remember to do what the Dr. tells you and don't forget to pray. I have found that prayer helps in every situation. Good luck with your appointment.

Good to see you doing so well. Dehydration can be quite a problem. It will be hard but remember to sip, sip, sip all day long. It's easier to prevent the dehydration then it is to recoup from it. You will probably do through a "mourning" phase for food. That's pretty normal and for me at least it passed. Do what the doctors say and pamper yourself just a little bit. Good luck - Melody

Glad to see you post. Hope you continue to feel better every day. Dehydration is the pits....I know - btdt that many times in the last 3 months. Take Care. Gala

Hurray! We'll be keeping an eye on you!
