Sorry I haven't informed anyone...just trying to get through the rough part. I'm doing great! Still have mild pain once and again. I take one pain pill (norco) and one Tylenol. I'm eating broth Popsicle's, juice mixed with water and SF jello. My hubby is straining soup since it is tastier than regular broth. I sleep in the recliner and I walk often. Was really bloaty and had to deal with the gas pains (no fun.) but after my first BM the bloat was much better. The plumbing works great! ???? Anyway they ran into a hernia and the dr fixed that too. This has truly been a breeze. I've had a lot of support and prayers and of corse all of you. I did come home and had a moment of realization. I had a good cry. Just taking in everything that just happened and the pain and bloat, etc... Was just a lot to take in. But I am ready to embrace this journey now and can already feel a difference. I woke up this morning and watered my garden! It's great to be a looser!
