Well I made it through and came home today. Having the cold and a bad cough probably made everything twice as bad...especially with sleeping. I am just starting to feel clear enough to post. Still pain is terrible when I cough. At least I know it's only going to get better.

I'm 3 days post op had GB 2/25. I came home yesterday. I'm trying to stay off the pain meds bc I feel super buzzed and can't concentrate. My pain has been ok. Was much better after they removed the drainage tube, I think it was on a nerve. So I am trying to focus more on getting my liquids in and my Vitamins and mayb one Protein Shake. Only bc it all seems overwhelming and I can sip on a cup of plain coffee and get 10 oz in and switch to flavored water. My discharge nurse said focus on staying hydrated first. So that is my goal. I gained almost 10 pounds of Fluid but I'm not worried about that. I will wait for my first dr appt in 10 days to figure out my weight loss.

Oh beans-- how I love thee. Warm and cozy in your little, mini bowl and toddler spoon.
I am literally having a love affair with my beans! lol

If Popsicles are working maybe try freezing some fruit flavored Isopure. You would be able to get in your protein that way. Or maybe "almost" freeze a Protein Shake.

I have started freezing meals, so I can either throw them in the crockpot or in the oven and not have to worry. I have found some great freezer to crockpot recipes on Pinterest. I have also pre cooked bulk ground beef and put in freezer bags and froze them so if I need food in a pinch, it's ready quick.

February 25th here! 1 week to go! I'm so excited! Congratulations to everyone who has had surgery already and Good luck to everyone who has surgery coming up!
