I am doing really good I just got out the hospital yesterday. "Yay" I am still having a hard time breathing and I have to take blood thinners and go to my PCP every week for the next 6 months. I am just really starting to have to drink on my own and it's really hard but I know I don't want to go back for dehydration!

Ok surgery last evening 8-9. Went well I've been up walking 4 times now and am just going for my shower then another walk. Gas pain is real, so walk. But all in nothing you can't handle.

What protein powder are you using?

What protein powder are you using?

Atkins advantage shakes. They are the only ones that taste the same!

Glad you are on your way to a speedy recovery!

Metallic taste anyone?

Surgery at 630am....my stomach is talking to me as well bc it's empty! Ready to get this done!

Surgery went well. Feeling pretty good. A little bit of pain at incision site but nothing the Dilaudid doesn't fix up and walking hourly along with working on my fluid intake. How is everyone else doing?

Metallic taste anyone?

Yes

Yes

I swear. Everything is a journey. Can feel me getting dehydrated a but. Dr wnt pug me to full liquids till he sees me tomorrow. Popsicles n ice saved me

Day 3 when they say walk they mean it. I've kept my pain in check by walking. But it's still hurts some. Leak test today and if its all good hotel for one night then home. I keep knocking my IV out they are really good at putting them in but they don't tape them enough. Not hungry that's a plus. Had ice chips yesterday.

My surgery is Monday the 18th
