Congratulations!

Grits were allowed on my diet, so I got Great Value butter flavored instant grits and prepared them with fat free chicken broth instead of water. They were so good! I got sick of cream soups and all that sweet stuff, so they were like a treat without cheating.

Thanks Kiki!

Thanks for the reply. I didn't want to take any pain medication, but I just popped a pain tab about 30 min ago and feel so much better. But then I haven't coughed yet either. I knew it would take a while for the incisions to heal just didn't know how long.

So, my surgery was this past Monday, Nov 3rd, and I'm doing really well, except for the largest incision. When I cough it burns like hell on the inside! How long will it take for this to at least lessen to a tolerable amount of pain?

Hi everyone! I'm Nov 3rd as well. I'm so excited to get this surgery! Like you, I'm in week 1 of the Preop diet and really it's not too bad so far.
