Successful Surgery 1-4-10

Started the new year with my surgery.:smile2: Was evaluated 5 Dec 09 and had my surgery on 4 Jan 10. Traveled 4 hours and arrived 10 minutes prior to my surgery time. :eek: Within 10 minutes after warming up, I was in surgery and 30 minutes later done.:wink: I stayed in the hospital another day due to the snow fall we had in our area-no transportation. The next day I felt better for the taxi and bus ride (4 hours) to my home. Following the diet plan, liquids, water, a vitamin, and soups. The key I see is drinking water for me. I have seen a loss of about 6 pounds since Mon.:thumbup: I started this surgery with a weight of 270 and my goal will be 170 or 160. Of course I am 55 yrs old. My pain is subsiding now and next week 1-16-10 I will see the doctor for my first visit after surgery. If there are any suggestions on what to eat confortably after 4 weeks (solids) please advise.
