Tomorrow should be my last liquid diet day. I have a post op visit with my Dr on Thursday and I'm hoping to graduate to phase two.

I was able to have broth which helped.

Thanks, I'm going to get online and give it a try.

What protein shake are you using that's 50 grams off protein?

Right there with you.

I forgot to mention that when I do start to hurt I walk on my treadmill for ten minutes to see if that helps any, it usually does.

The pain has been minimal and usually controlled with a Tylenol. I take lots of naps and don't do a lot around the house. Truthfully, I've just been scrapbooking and sleeping.

I'm down to needing pain drugs twice in a 24 hour period. The doctor will release me to drive when I have been off them completely for 48 hours. Maybe that will happen by next week? I wouldn't be in a rush if my husband were in town. His being out is a little bit of a game changer.

Good luck to all of you having surgery today.

I kept expecting you to say you cheated, but you didn't! You did so great with so many challenges. That's great!

I wore the bottoms under their gown.

I got home yesterday. Feel settled in finally.

I brought a thin pair is jammie bottoms. I wore them the whole time. There was a couple girls doing their walking while I was doing mine with their gowns open in the back. I would highly recommend the pj's.

I wondered the same.

I'm going to work on that today. I shouldn't worry about this but after being gone three days the boys have messed up the house. I will need to find an angel to help me clean, then another angel to help me recover.

I found out today that my husband will be gone the next two weeks. I hope I heal up quickly, I'm doing all the things I'm supposed to but I think I'm going to heal at my own pace. Little worried.

Are you both home now?

I'm going home today, I feel like it's been two weeks not three days.

I thought one but ended up staying two. I'm happy I did because it gave me a break from real life and time to adjust to this new me.

Amy, looks like you're doing everything right. Keep it up!

I was sick the first day or two as well. It will pass.

I have chronic migraines, so was basically bad timing.

Congrats, I made it too! I had a difficult night with a migraine. Here's to a new day.

My big day is tomorrow, they changed my time from 10:30 to noon. It's going to be a long morning but so worth it in the end. take care all!

Good luck!
