NSV-ish - Went from size 22 jeans pre-op (were starting to get too big) to a size 20 today. I have to keep them unbuttoned so I can breathe while I'm sitting, though. They're not squeezin...

Where is it all coming from? - Even on the postop liquid diet I was pooping. I thought the bowel cleanse would have gotten rid of it all. Yesterday was my first day of puree but I didn't eat much because the ...

First pureed meal - I made ham with mayo. I've taken a few tiny bites (maybe half a teaspoon total) and chewed really well, but I'm feeling a little nauseated. Is this normal so early or should I p...

Who posted recently about Topamax? - I searched but I didn't find the recent post. I'm looking through the paperwork the hospital gave me. They said we can have Imitrex, Maxalt, Tylenol headache, or Fioricet.
