I am so happy that you are doing well and that your husband accompanied you! I hope the rest of the family comes around with a quickness! ?

It gets easier each day!

Thanks! The rest of the family has been slightly changing their tune because at this point it’s a done deal. It was so much unnecessary drama. Lol! I’m glad it’s over.

I felt the same way until I had more solid foods. What stage of food are you on? I’m on mushy food and feel much more satisfied and get full with them. (Beans, can chicken/tuna, sunny side eggs) I didn’t get the full feeling with blended Soups and Protein Shakes.

Well doctor told me go ahead and try when I want to try because I was doing so well and I had a little bit of clam chowder Friday night and I nibbled a little bit on a grilled cheese sandwich and it seem to be OK the rest the weekend as mostly on liquids and protein drink until today when I had some tuna patties and fried potatoes and it did not go well at all so tomorrow I am back on my protein shakes and sugar-free Jell-O

Good luck tomorrow!

That is exactly what my doctor said too. I thought I was doing really good I start eaten a few things like clam chowder and I know Moore did on the grill cheese sandwich tonight I made tuna patties and fried potatoes and I found out solid food is not my friend right now so back to Protein Drinks good luck everyone

That stuff was probably too greasy. I haven't had greasy food because I would expect it not to sit well.

Wishing you the best Chrissy! Sending you healing thoughts! My surgery is tomorrow at 7am we'll be in the hospital at the same time, just in different states

Thank you for all the well wishes. Here are few lessons I've learned:

1. Everyone's experience is different
2. No matter what anyone says it doesn't prepare you for what you actually feel
3. Walking does help
4. Don't wait too long to ask for pain medicine
5. Don't become dehydrated

I stayed in the hospital an extra night because of vomiting and pain. Each day does get better

And every day in every way You Are Getting Better! Happy Days and Good Health to zYou!
