Sounds like you are doing great! Good for you . . . can't wait to read more posts.

Yeah you! Congratulations and keep us posted ..

I'm sorry you've had this trouble and I do pray God's best for you. . .

Ditto, ditto and ditto . . .I'll bet they look as cute as can be!

Lap2Fab is right - it does get better, hang in there. And do walk as much as you are able and use the GasX. I would keep an eye on that cough . . .if concerned, call your doctor. Keep us posted - you'll be in our prayers.

Wonderful post . .. and I needed this today. Thanks!

MMM, this sounds so good - thanks!

And be sure you are taking in enough fluids all day long too .. . good luck!

For the first few days, my doctor's office told me not to worry about getting in all of the protein but to make sure I kept fluids going in all day .. . keep hydrated. The appetite will come along as your swelling goes down. Best wishes.

This too shall pass . . . no pun intended (ok, maybe the pun was intended!). Hang in there, everyday should just get better and better.

Sounds like you are doing well - keep up the good work. You are well on your way . . .

I can "feel" your enthusiasm in your post - I am excited for you - congratulations and keep up the good work. Rose

You were missed here! So glad to hear from you and especially that you are doing so well - congratulations! Very inspirational post - thanks.

Great insight . . . great decisions . .. good for you! Praying God's best for you. Rose

Such a great posting . . .and I will praise Him in the waiting!

Sorry you are feeling yucky . . . hope tomorrow is better.

Good job! We're all so happy for you . .. and envious! Keep up the good work.

I agree with Sandra . . . I slept in a recliner for a couple of nights. And yes, every day will get better. ** Hugs **

Welcome aboard! I'm so glad things went well for you.

Thanks for the update . . .love hearing how it is going for you and glad it is going so well!

Lap2fab and smiley8 . . can't wait to hear how your surgeries went . . .read up on this site and you'll get a good idea of things to watch for and questions to ask and things to do . . .so much information here. God's best to you both!

Yep . . .here we go!!

It sounds like you're doing pretty well all in all. I would suggest to keep trying to get in all the protein that you can. I don't think anyone gets everything in the first few days, but it gets better. The swelling will go down and you will be able to handle a little more at a time. I am in my fourth week post op and still have some discomfort at my port incision - pretty typical from what I read. Good luck!
