purple shamrock

I did "cheat", but only after the okay from my surgeon. I saw him on day 5, and he gave me the okay to go ahead and slowly add to what I was eating. Like some have said, there were things (and still are things) that are more painful than others! Good luck to you!

I'd rate it a 4. I have a very low tolerance for pain, though. Would I do it all over again? In a heartbeat! Good luck to you~you will be fine!:biggrin:

This is a difficult rule for me, too! I try my best to follow it, and I appreciate all of the advice given here! Thanks for sharing!

Congratulations! That is awesome! You are an inspiration!:tt2:
