Had my surgery - doing GREAT!

I had my surgery on 1/6/05. I was in the hospital for 3 days - hardly any pain thanks to the epidural! Even after going home, still hardly any pain. In the first week, I lost 19 pounds - amazing! There's really only one thing that I'm sick of and that is fruit flavors. Everything that you can eat (drink) during these first few weeks seems to be fruit flavored!! I'm not a chocolate fan so the protein drinks are (guess what) FRUIT FLAVORED! Even my liquid vitamin is fruity.

Hi Patricia, Congratulations on your surgery. I had mine 1/17. I totally agree with you about the fruity flavored everything. I don't enjoy a lot of fruit flavored things and my vitamins are fruit flavored too. The only good thing is I get to chew them. You are doing great. A los of 19 lbs the first week, WOW! Keep up the good work. Jill K
