Day seven and I can finally say I don't feel too bad!

My first week was pretty rough, although a lot of it was because I always expect the worst!  Outside of some bruising and some tenderness on my side I feel relatively normal.  Of course I can't eat anything yet, but I really am not that hungry, I just try to get in all my fluids, which is not as easy as it sounds.  At first I couldn't hardly get any fluids in but yesterday all of the sudden, I could.  Nurse said the swelling probably finally went down enough for me to be comfortable!  Anyway, the scale is moving the right direction, but I'm looking forward to the green light for some pureed foods!

Glad to hear you're feeling better.

By the time you're done with pureed foods, you'll be sick of them!!  I was on pureed for 4 weeks.  So, maybe you won't be on them for that long.

Remember, chicken broth can be your best friend!!
