Dona, keep posting your concerns because there are so many people here who have had the same thing and can reassure you. Extreme pain, swelling, vomiting, fevers are some of the things to be concerned about. You are sounding great!

No I didn't have any of those besides the bruising this morning. I am following the diet to the best of my ability. I am walking as much as I can but also resting. I've slept 9hours straight without waking up at all. I was light headed this morning, took some sips then a shower. I have no idea how I managed to take a shower because my legs were shaking. Now I am sitting and will watch some netflix while drinking diet snapple iced tea. It's just weird that I feel normal besides the above. No pain maybe just when I get out of bed and stand up or sit down. I hope he took enough stomach out lol.

Glad ur feeling well. Food u will enjoy soon. Keep us posted. ☺️

Thank toy darling. I swear you guys are more supportive and caring than some people ;)

Warning Dona and anyone else......., my husband has more health problems than me and as his blood pressure has gone down and his meds adjusted, he has had problems with lightheadedness. He was feeling lightheaded 2 weeks post surgery but got in the shower anyway and passed out cold. Big shower, but he fell and there are six cracked tiles where he sent the shower chair (he was not sitting), through them, blackened his cheek and face hitting something, and has a long scraped bleeding arm from hitting one of the glass doors with a metal bottom. My advice is do not get in the shower feeling lightheaded!!!!!! If you hit your head it could be a catastrophe!

Omg I hope he is okay. That's horrible. I will never take a shower again if I am lightheaded
