Thanks for the update @Sosewsue61! Glad to hear all is going well so far after surgery for you!!! So I know you're just like my mom and have multiple sewing machines - which one are you going to play with the most during your recovery time?

I made it!!! I have been in my private room since 10:46 am. I have walked twice, longer the second time. Pain tolerable w meds - 1000mg tylenol in IV, an anti-inflammatory, two little boost of dilaudid. Sat in chair for a couple hours, short nap. Will have swallow test tomorrow morning, then try sipping.
I have a nausea patch - scopolamine and it works for me, a little drowsy from it but I'll take that over the nausea.

I'll give my taste reviews for sure! Yeah the aloha mango one had some good reviews, so I figured I'd give it a go. And I have an electric kettle that will make having the hot liquids easy and mess free Great for making my decaf instant coffee for my shakes, too.

Been there, got the t-shirt, and the t-shirt didn't even fit lol That was definitely one of my lowest moments too. Riding a roller coaster is on my list of things I can't wait to do once I start dropping some weight At least you'll have a great motivational story to share or even just reminisce on down the road.
