3/3 surgery

I have been bad in not posting anything since the surgery. Thanks to all the well wishers etc.... I haf my surgery last Wed afternoon, they did end up taking out my gallbladder, but that was fine. Came through the surgery no prob. They pain has been pretty minimal as well, in the hospital I think the highest pain level was 5 out of 10. Not in much pain now just kinda gasy feeling. I am now on full liquids and am having a yummy pineapple smoothie (3/4 pineapple juice, 1/2 cup cottage cheese and protein powder) highly recommend. I go back on friday to see how much I lost and to see the doc. My family has come out to help me, but am doing pretty good, able to get in the shower myself, get in and out of a car etc.... Just can't wait to drive. I am having a hard time trying to eat all the stuff they are trying to have me eat but I am trying!! Thanks again for all the encourging words.

Glad your doing so well! It sure inspires me...my surgery is 3/31 and I am gettin a bit nervous!

Good to hear from you and it is encouraging for those of us waiting to go next....I am like a cat on a hot tin roof right now.

thanks for the update. That pineapple smoothie sounds really good.

It's so wonderful you're doing so well and had so little post-op pain! Keep up the good work, and thanks for the smoothie recipe!!! Hugs, -Marcie

Congratulations! You are doing well! The smoothie does sound good! Welcome back... Joy
