Questions: Why Does It Hurt Should It Still Hurt???
If you need something dont hesitate to email me or ring me Iam her Everyone need a great support team because if you dont have it you will not feel good and you will make wrong choices by just not knowing what to do, by you third week you can eat pureed foods which is at alot of cream soups but with non fat milk, I also venne sausges because the smashed really good in my mouth you must chew 60 times, and to let you know if you stay on a protine drink you will not crave food or sweets, I recomend at GNC vitaimines store they have the GNC brand no surgar protine drink it is cheapest and it work awesome. I also drink lots of SOY Milk. You can check me out on Face Book just go to facebook and look up Sara Leon in Winters Ca 95694.

Post-Op nastiness, ways to get through it?
Hi this is Sara Wow why did you have it redone, Yes today is 4 day post op I feel much beter, I really have not used pain killers have them but really dont need them I really want to feel my bodies needs, Pain killer will not take gas pains away, walk walk walk, get up stand sit up, I have noticed that I have not really have alot of good sleep because of trying to get comphy, but with alot of pillows, getting up and walking also surger free popsicles it has helped. I slept pretty good today. Make sure you take your multi vitmiam pill, drink your protien drink it may take you 2 to 3 hours to finish but believe me it gives you power. Well if you want you cn keep in contact. Sara
