What kind of protein are you drinking? My surgery was 2/25. On 3/1 I began drinking EAS Myoplex Original. I got the ready made. It's 42g of protein per 17 oz shake. I've only had the Chocolate Fudge but it taste pretty good cold. I believe it's also available in powder form as well as bars.

Teresa, This hasn't happened to me, but if I were you I would definitely call my doc about it. I'm sure it's nothing, but better safe than sorry, and all that! Tracy

I had my surgery on 2/27/08 and woke up this morning with puffy feet.they were a little puffy last night and I attributed this to being up and around the house more than in the hospital. Is this normal? I keep walking around the house and that seems to take some of the swelling away. I was told NO recliners after surgery due to blood clots. I almost think keeping my feet up would help the swelling. Other than that, I feel good! Dreamrider

You need socks house sloppers tooth brush /paste , hair brush, soap, shampoo, conditioner, underwear, clean outfit to leave in that is loose fitting like sweat pants and a buttondown ot zip down top trustme the last thing you want to do is raise your arms. You also want a cushy stuffed animal or body pollow incase you cough or sneeze to coushen your belly. I would not worry about PJ's you will be in a gown. Good luck. I am 7 years out.
