Hi all, I haven't post...

Hi all, I haven't posted often but wanted to update for those of you waiting for your surgery!! I am 5 days post op and I have to say this has been very easy for me (so far;) Little to NO pain after surgery. The worst days were days 2 and 3 for soreness. It just felt as though I had been beat up pretty bad :0 I was one of the lucky ones that did not have many gas pains. The one time I did I took an infants gas drops (the generis of mylicon) and the pain went away. I have been able to do lots of walking since the evening I had surgery. I am still on clear liquids mostly, just started yesterday adding 2 oz of mashed potatoes made with chicken broth and today added cheese grits made with Hood Milk. I was able to get in about 3 oz of grits which kinda scared me. But I am glad I have had no problems thus far with nausea, vomiting, or food getting stuck. I remember all too well how nervous, scared, anxious and overwhelmed I was pre-op, so I thought my journey might help someone out! Good Luck to all.....may we all have a blessed and healthy journey to our new lives!! Kristy 2/03/06 304/294/165

Thanks for the update! As you know we need all the reassurance we can get! I am glad you are doing so well. Best wishes to you and I hope we hear from you more often. Jessi
