Okay so I am still having to rest a lot but it's not like I have to be anywhere. Everyday I am amazed at how much better I feel.

My head is so clear and energetic but my body has a different story. I am as slow as a turtle. Having done too much once on another surgery I am only walking, eating, drinking and sleeping (lots). My recliner/chairlift has been rented for a month and I am going to rest in it as much as I can. I am lucky not to have to do any work of any kind.

So far I have lost my modesty and now my husband has seen every flabby inch of me, My bras are getting a bit baggy. I guess I know what is going to be the first to go.

I can eat, drink and take all of my vitamins. The roughest part; chewing those awful tasting multi-vitamins. I get hungry. I never had any nausea. I am already greiving for foods but I did find a good fix.

HDTV has one major drawback for me. All of those scrumptious looking foods on a large screen in HD is a bit painful. I decided for every recipe or food I see I will make a WLS counterpart. I saw an Olive Garden commercial and I am going to make chicken parmesean with sauteed garlic vegetables. For the pizza hut commercia I am using low carb flatbread, tomatoes, herbs and mozerella and back. You aren't going to believe my protein pudding pies.

Glad you are feeling better, and I'm right there with you with all the food, I'm still on a liquid diet and hopefully Thurs when I see my Dr I can start soft foods, I just want to chew lol

Glad you're back !  I couldn't agree more with HDTV and the food commercials and programs constantly.  It's enough to drive you nuts !

Glad you're feeling better !

I just can't do chewables. I swallow all my pills and vitamins. Haven't had any problems. I DID try breaking my multi in half, but it was NASTY tasting!
