Thanks for the words, Long2bThin. That REALLY helps. I also have my surgery on Monday and it helps to here others experience. I'm looking forward to having this part behind me and moving on to eating right and exercising! Oh, to be healthy!

Hi All...

So I promised that I would check back in when I got home and let you all know how things went. Surgery went very smoothly...and I woke up in the recovery room with alot of pain. So they had me on a morphine drip that I could press the button any time and get a dose of it. Later on in the evening they took that off and put me on liquid Roxicet. I was up and walking from the moment they brought me up to my private room...but I was also in alot of pain and I couldn't pee until about 8PM!

Well, the pain hasn't really gone away yet. It's Friday nite and I'm still having a really hard time. I've also found myself to be very hungry...the broth and Jello just aren't cutting it. I started my Protein drinks as soon as I got home and I feel like either I'm having too much fluids or I don't know what. I feel super bloated.

I can't stand the after taste that the sugar free Jello is leaving in my mouth and I'm starting to really get sick of the broth already. And I still have until next Thursday for the Week One diet! Yuck! Does anyone have any suggestions of what I can eat other than the jello and broth? I'm feeling queasy at times as well, but I think that may be from the Roxicet. That, or I'm having too much jello and broth!!!

Guys...I really must say, I'm glad I went through with this and all...but I'm in ALOT of pain! The surgeon's assistant told me that the younger you are, the more intense the pain is. Is that true? I'm really hurting here!! I can barely get up or sit down on my own. The getting up is especially hard. I guess I just didn't expect this much pain.

Anyhow, I'm going to try to get some rest now. Talk to y'all soon!
