Hey mine ain't too bad to look at either lol!!

I am two weeks out and get hungry. Starving actually. The thing is' date=' if you get enough Protein and fluids, one should eat only three times a day. And, they are VERY small meals.[/quote']

Are you drinking while you eat? That's rule number one for me. I'm not to drink for half an hour before during or sixty minutes after eating.

I'm drinking diet no sugar added Swiss miss hot chocolate with skim milk! Great way to get in protein cuz it's delicious!

My rule: 30 minutes before or after and yep, I follow this rule. I was just saying that yes, I do get hungry when it's time to eat. I did not at first, but do know.

I'm having trouble keeping anything down- including meds. I'm 2 days post op. yesterday I did ok with liquids but today not so much. Anybody else?

Anyone's hair on their head starting to feel a little course? My hair and teeth feel funny....I just showered and scrubbed my hair twice with cleansing shampoo. I expect it to fall out but not feel like crapola...

I did have trouble the first 2 days but they gave me a prescription for Zofran and it made a huge difference...

Tomorrow I'll be in surgery! Only 52 days from start of the process to surgery. I'm taking that as good omen that this is meant to be! I'm hoping to update when up to it from my shiny new IPad!
