I can't believe we're finally on the losers bench! Congrats to everyone on this side of the journey. Keep us updated with your progress.

Our April first peeps are Deana Wright, MissMeagan and Nella. Ladies, tell us everything!

Hows it going for you wendilou

it's going great! I've moved up to protein shakes, soup and yogurt so I am a happy camper I was also cleared for aerobic exercise so I'm amping up my workouts a bit to get back into that. I have very little pain, except when I do my walking I can get a bit sore. But it's really quite tolerable. I'm not taking any pain meds. I attribute that to the arnica montana it took after my surgery. It's a homeopathic drug you can get OTC at some drug stores. It reduces swelling and bruising and i was introduced to it by my plastic surgeon who did my breast reduction. It works wonders. You can get it at whole foods and natural health food stores.

Just ate 1oz of unsweetened applesauce that i had to mix some omeprezole (sp?) in i was so scared to eat it lol but it went down good dont feel sick now just need to get this pain under control also i asked my dr in the hospital if i can take gasx strips and he said no ...but i really want to try and see if it helps...what to do what to do?

Good Luck Ladies.

Also have a very personal question ....does anyone else have trouble wiping after peeing i feel swollen and like i cant reach...i know its def tmi but tomorrows i. Supposed to take milk of magnesia but my poor hubby has already been helping me up front but dont want to push it lol

I wore panty liners to help if I couldn't wipe very good. I was fine by the time I pooped for the first tims
