Back from surgery

Jul 10, 2009

I am back home from surgery and overall it was not too bad.  I would not have said that yesterday.  At one point I was wondering why did I do this to myself, but I had a feeling my pain would not be controlled since I already have a high tolerance to pain meds.  I got out of surgery shortly after lunch and by 1:00 A.M. they had me on Vicodin and that finally helped.  The injections helped, but they only seemed to last about an hour.

I am so excited, I came home and got on the scale and lost 8 lbs. in two days.... geez, it took me one year to lose 12. 

I am still a little confused about how much I have to drink in the clear and full liquid stages.  I called my Nut and she said my total intake should be 64 oz.  So if I am getting 32 oz. from protein and 12 oz. of juice, I guess I need to fit in 20 oz. more of crystal light or water, or popsicles.  I am limiting my drinks to 2 oz. but it seems like they gave me more then that at a time in the hospital.
