Day 5 tonight and no throwing up, gagging or anything. Only time I had it was the night after surgery. Had dry heaves once and that was before I could start on liquids. Drinking that upper GI syrup crap almost made me puke but I was able to control it. Water has been tasting like metal lately. Tried Poweraide zero today and is not to bad. Also tried chicken noodle soup (just the broth) and that was a great treat! Keeping up on my walking each day seems to be helping cause I can walk longer distances each day. Stopped taking the pain medicine (perkaset) yesterday at 9am. More of just a soreness at the two larger incision area but is getting better each day. Have no problem keeping things down. Sticking with the jello soups Poweraide zero water. Apple juice seems a little strong right now. Maybe if I do half and half. So far so good.

So far so good.....
