I have been fine all this time nd today , I'm hungry , ate broth, sf jello nd lots of water.. three proteins . grrrrr

I just loved how positive you were thru ur whole ordeal! I'm so glad u are ok know.. itcwas ur attitude toward the whole situation .nd of course ur Doc. Hope ur doing well! My surgery is Dec 16th. trying to get thru thru the liquid diet. thank you so much for ur post. L quote name="GBFree82" post="2930432" timestamp="1376412855"] Thanks everyone! Everyday is a better day right now! I was actually good enough to walk around the block this morning between the rain storms. Please don't be scared to have this surgery, you are changing your life for the better and every journey has a bump or two! :-) If I had to be honest, once I was feeling better I rather enjoyed my time in the ICU, as said above, I had three nurses (three shift changes) who were dedicated to helping me and looking after me and maybe one other. And I attribute my recovery to their personalized care! Best of luck to you all!

Has anyone been almost 10 days on liquid diet nd gotten so hungry?

Tomorrow is ur big day! In my prayers Linda305,hope everything goes well, nd ur doing great in no time!!
