It was this discomfort that lasted the longest.

Lap hysterectomy will be either the 29 or 31. I find out the exact date tomorrow and time. Dr said cancer but most likely stage 1. Unless it spread to tubes or ovaries. However, I do have a cyst on left ovary as well. That was found when all other testing was done. Staging will be determined after the hysterectomy. I should know the staging in the 1st week in Feb. Stage 1 is best case scenario cuz the hysterectomy and removal of lymph nodes associated with it will take care of the cancer. So fingers crossed that its at stage 1!!!!!

Best of luck to you, try to remain positive

I'm so jealous of all of you that get in 50+oz of water a day. I have a 32oz Nalgene bottle and yesterday was the first time I've been able to finish one, let alone 2!! How do you find the time (or pouch space) to drink that much?!?

Hello Nicole how are you doing?

Praying for you Gen.

Prayers and good wishes, Gen. Please keep us posted.

I'm new to using this app, so if I am doing this wrong someone pease let me know. I had my surgery December 26th in Dallas, TX. Everything has been going great, starting to really miss food! I am still on a soft food diet for 2 more weeks, but I am getting discouraged because my weight keeps going up and down. Anyone out there experience the same?

Hello all... I just had my RNY, 1-9... Im a week out... Can i get ideas on mush food??

Praying its S-1 and the hysterectomy will be the end of it. I had a partial a few years back and its a lot like this surgery as far as healing.

You've always been very helpful and basically an inspiration to our January groups, so rest assured we will all unite to be the same to you and offer as much support as you want as you go through this.

I just buy the 20oz bottled water. Start in the morning drinking every time i see the bottle. A second bottle in the afternoon. Again everytime i see it i drink. Then a third bottle at night.

Believe me i stop 30 min on both sides of my three meals and i drinking the rest of the time!

I have days where i'll miss a bottle, but i feel like i've drank more water since my surgury than in the first 37yrs of my life! When i miss the goal i just try for three the next day.

The 60oz IMO is the goal and if i achieve it most days i'm good.

Hello all... I just had my RNY' date=' 1-9... Im a week out... Can i get ideas on mush food??[/quote']

Purée stage foods, scrambled eggs, tuna, egg, and chicken salad, Wendy's chili, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, refried beans, hummus! I add melted cheese to chili and refried beans. Also melted cheese on scrambled eggs. Light mayo with tuna or egg salads. Also imitation crabmeat you can eat too. Cream of wheat!

Nicole gave a very good list. My Dr and a lot of others only required a week or two, our choice, with puréed foods. Thank heavens. Believe me 1 week and I was done w that.

It is good to see you over here Ash :-) I hope your recovering nicely :-)

If I didn't say it over on Jan list, welcome to the losers bench :-) Thank you for joining us here.

Thank you every one. It's good to hear. This has never been in the family, So I guess I'm a black sheep, lol. I'm still going to the gym every day after work it helps. Went yesterday after the news. I walk on the treadmill for at a minimum of an hour some times an hour 45min. It feels so good. Each time I'm able to raise the speed by two mph. Yesterday I was at 3.6, it felt good other than the fact I got new shoes and they got to my heals. So I had to stop at an hour and go buy band aids :-)

I had asked for a hysterectomy 3 yrs ago cuz I knew, intuition, this day would come but the Drs wouldn't go by my intuition and take out so called healthy organs. So I'm honestly not surprised but had been expecting it. I'm a little numb, I guess. Not sure how to feel. And can't wait to get the junk out, finally, 3 yrs too late though. I worry about my daughter. I haven't told her its cancer and am not going to unless I have too. We've had one heck of 2 years w my now ex finding himself a GF. Her harassing me by texting horrible things, sending pics of him n her together. Monday eve at almost midnight she called 2 times and woke me up. I didn't answer and texted her back to ask her to stop, and I didn't say it that nicely either. So I'm trying to recover from a divorce from the love of my life for 25 years and I WILL recover from this too. This group has really been heaven sent for me. You all are a gift and I thank you. I THANK YOU so much.
