I'm not going to lie the first night home was a little rough but luckily my husband and daughter have turned into Little Nurses so they helped me out a great deal. I've decided it's much easier to stay in my recliner than in the bed. the family had to go back to school and work today but they set Everything up around my chair for me. I'm starting to feel better now.

I feel ya. Last night was my first night home too. Had to take pain meds about 6am. I agree recliners much better. It's going to get better everyday from here out though

@eloade and @@swood015

@@BellaLuce4 Thank you. I'm surprised how much I can actually get down. I had 20oz of coconut water, 4oz Of plain water and 4oz of isopure. Better than I thought it would be. I also had 1 tablespoon of Fage 2% plain yogurt mixed with another tablespoon of chobani banana Greek yogurt. It was delicious. I just ate really slow and I was able to get it all in. I'm not pushing it though. I'm just sipping water for the rest of the night!

Be careful with the coconut water once you are healed and eating cause it has a high sugar content. For now it's prob great for your body. Sounds like you are doing really good!!! So happy for you????

@@BellaLuce4 Oh I probably won't drink it to much after just for that reason I just use it now because I'm not even getting in 400 Calories with it. I don't care too much for sugar free products so I'm trying to stay as natural as I can. This is just for now. I like water too this is just a nice change from plain water I don't "love" my isopure but I make myself drink a few oz just for the protein benefits. I will be glad when some time down the road I can eat My protein instead! I'm looking forward to that!
