Woo Hoo, I agree!

I need to stay hydrated, I was dehydrated in the hospital and it wreaked havoc with my blood pressure. I don't have trouble getting fluids down its just the Protein drinks really fill me up. Thank you ladies, I am going to sip, sip, sip today, but mostly relax. Maggie

I am 6 days post-op and am trying desperately to get all my Water and Protein in but am finding it near impossible. I really need some hints from those of you who were successful. Help please, Maggie

I think this thread may slow down but I would surely input on the rest of the threads, this is where the info is, along with amazing support. On FB we would all be newbies.

I am still sleeping in a recliner. 5 days out, tried my side again last night and it was very uncomfortable.

Does anyone sleep on their side? This back sleeping is getting to me. Maggie

My surgery buddy, I have been thinking about you, sending positive thoughts. I hope it is all uphill for you from here on out. Feel good.

I am 4 days out, can I have sugar free mints? Mouth feels yucky.

Is that left side pain under your left breast? It is my worst pain. Still doing just Water and Protein drinks.....sigh Maggie

Going home! One day hospital stay! Woo Hoo!

On the loser side. Not so bad. In the hospital, healing. Maggie

At the hospital, just waiting to be on the losers bench. Prayers please. You are all an amazing supportive bunch. Maggie

Hi Jessica, my surgery buddy, Good Luck tomorrow! My surgery is at 1PM. I am excited, scared and anxious all at the same time! Will be thinking about you, see you on the Losers Bench! Maggie

Thank you so much! Anxious, scared and excited all at the same time. I have to be at the hospital,at 1:00PM, much rather early morning. Maggie

Never thought I would enjoy the broth from chicken noodle soup so much. Finally, something with taste, without sweetness.

I have been on liquids for 6 days and cannot stand the fast in my mouth, it's so sweet. Everything I drink is sweet except Water and it comes through the water. Any suggestions on getting rid of this? Can I drink the broth from a can of chicken noodle Soup for a different taste, if I strain it? Maggie

I love to cook for my family, especially big Sunday dinners. I am afraid my surgery is going to change that. I want to continue our Traditional Sunday dinner when everyone comes home. Has your attitude toward cooking changed? Maggie
