I'm actually a December, but my surgery was on New Year's Eve so I'm kind of a January, too!

How are you doing so far?

I am so bored laying around. I'm sore and meds make me nauseous so I'm trying to just use Tylenol liquid. I am sipping water and have had a bad headache. . I'm excited about the day my left side don't hurt tho. How are you feeling

I was pretty sore the first few days, but now at 11 days, I'm feeling pretty good. My left side is definitely more tender. It's improving daily though. I just use regular Tylenol capsules. They seem to do the trick.

I'm scared to try to swallow a cap or pill yet. My doc is very strict, much more than most I read on here. I am on clear liquids for 2 weeks, then full liquid for 2 wks. No pills at all.

My surgery was 1/9. I came home yesterday, I must say I feel much better than I thought I would. Working on my first protein shake this morning. I would love to connect with others who recently had surgery.

I came home yesterday too. My surgery was 1/9 as well. My left side is very bad and I keep getting out of bed and then back to bed. My liquid pain meds don't help much. I am excited to see someone with my same date! Lucky you, you get a protein drink! I'm on clear liquids til the 20th. Then full liquid for another 2 wks. How is your pain?

I was on clear liquids for the first week and now full liquids for two weeks, too. Truthfully, I am glad of it. I am relearning how to eat and taking it very slowly. :-) I am able to take pills, though.

Tonight I'm starting to miss any type of food. Liquids are hard. Even if I could have a protein drink it would help. I can't even have skim milk.. I have 7 more days of this, any ideas to help?

Have you tried Swanson's chicken tortilla broth? It's slightly spicy, but it tastes rich. They also have a Thai ginger. I'm not as keen on it. Anyhow, that broth really helps me get through.
