Hi Everyone thanks for the well wishes and Sandy thanks so much for keeping up with how I was doing.
Dr Reed let me come home today to say bye to my son as he left for university today.  Im feeling pretty good, no pain prescriptions needed.  Taking my pills just fine.
Its weird Guelph gives you regular jello not SF on your tray.  I was really afraid to eat it and asked the nurse first and she said it was right.  Hate apple juice thought and trying to get it down for the next 2 weeks on clear fluids makes me want to hurl.
Glad to be home.

Good for you Joanne...let the healing begin Low sodium chicken broth by Campbells in the tetra packs is what sits the best with me

 Glad you are home, there is no better place to recover.  
I hate apple juice as well.  If you use half water/half apple juice and ice it seems a little better.

Welcome home!

Like others have said, cut it with water, and try some stock (I preferred chicken or veg).  Before you know it, you'll be on to the next level.

There's no place like home!  I'm glad everything has gone so well for you.

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.
