Early Post-Op... The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly

I wanted to post my experiences from the first three weeks post-op. Everyone is different, but it helps to hear about other's experiences so here goes....   Week 1: The hardest thing was working my way up to the 8oz per hour that I was supposed to be drinking.

So far so good, but its only been six hours I'm really gung-ho about it all right now and I just hope my resolve doesn't fail me too soon.   I'm excited and nervous all at the same time.
