I got home last night, it was a 6.5hr drive home from San Diego.....

I was pooped, but felt great to be home....

My exit from the hospital was a little delayed, my BP spiked early yesterday morning, they say it is normal as a response to anesthesia, they gave me medication and observed me for a couple of hours until it was back to normal and then a few more hours.....but yay! I got to leave....I was ready...felt pretty good to, except for the BP headache that followed me all day!

I drank Gatorade 03 on the way home (the one with protein) and had chicken broth when I got home...went to bed and slept all night....well ok, at about 2am I couldn't stand the headache anymore and went for the Excedrine Migraine (my Dr. said I could take any analgesic I wanted, as long as either in liquid form or had it dissolve in my mouth, I bit the bullet and had them dissolve in mouth) - my headache went away....thank goodness....

I woke up today a NEW woman! Had a Protein shake (GNC AMP60) chocolate....so good, and 60 gr of protein per serving.....

I am on my way....feeling good, no pain and drinking my liquids!

AWESOME! I am so glad to hear that you are doing well. Keep up with the protein, b/c as you know, it will help with healing. Keep us updated! I can't image having to drive 6.5 hours after surgery!

Thanks...

It is so weird that I feel so good.....I do tire faster, I think lack of calories, and body adjusting to major surgery....Our bodies are amazing things.....

I just made a new batch of chicken broth, for the next 2 days, and then will whip chicken, veg and broth to make a full liquid Soup.....

I'll keep you all posted....
