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!

Doing pretty good today. Ate a scrambled egg' date=' drank a protein drink plus a bottle of water so far. Went for a good walk and in very little pain. I was really worried about being able to take in enough protein and water but I think I'm doing pretty good. Been writing everything down so I stay on top of it and it helps with accountability. I am so excited and I'm looking forward to the future.[/quote']

I wasn't even worried about mine because it wasn't due but the day after surgery it came and was horrible. I think because of all the blood thinners. I have to give myself a shot of blood thiner every am until 5-2-13.
