So glad you were able to finally go and that you are home now. I’m working on the liquid and Protein as well. I think it’s going to be a lot more difficult than I thought.

Yaaaaasss this!!! I’m still struggling to get in enough fluid today. I just don’t want to end up needing IV fluids. I’ve been trying to take a sip every time a commercial comes on. So weird not to be “starving”. I did manage a shower today, that felt great. Cheers...Keep drinking my friend!!

How is everyone doing?

I’m fine here! Only bit of tiny gas pain in my shoulder.

I’m still on oxygen, have compression stockings and massage wraps around my calf muscles.

Easy breezy so far.

I have a swallow X-ray tomorrow and then Friday allowed to have fluids. (Currently on IV)

Be well everyone xo

@girlaccountant I hope you’re doing well, thinking of you!

Thank you @TheFlintstones, been thinking about you too. I feel like I’ve turned a small corner tonight. I managed some chicken broth tonight and a bottle of protein water. It tasted so good. Gas pains are subsiding. Still waiting for BM, will try milk of magnesia tomorrow if nothing has happened.

Hope everything is coming along nicely for you as well. Love all the support I’m finding here. Appreciate you!! ❤️☺️

Got my arrival time! 6am tomorrow. Up at 3:30 am to drink my Gatorade and then my shower with the special soap...hoping for a little sleep tonight, but not sure I will...
