Topic: RE: Proper way to drink?
good question. I'm usually lounging on my bed with thee pillows behind me but have my water bottle right next to me to sip from. I've never had any problems with it coming back up...

Topic: RE: Nine Days and Still Tired
I try to stay in bed most of the day. My hubby keeps telling me I'm trying to over-do things. And normally he's right because I feel SO drained afterward and just go back to bed and sack out!

How are your incisions healing, Diane? And the open line? Are they starting to itch? I'm having that problem right now

how do you make your egg salad? I usually use light mayo, teaspoon of mustard and some garlic salt.

This has got to be the MOST difficult thing for me to do!! I'm the type of person who can drink 20oz of Crystal Light in 20 minutes or less! =P

I try to sip only as much to swish around my mouth now.

Topic: RE: I feel behind the curve
You lost 14 lbs pre op...and another 4.5 since you been home!!! That is FANFREAKINTASTIC!!!! You are still recovering your body is still swollen and retaining fluids.  They say we will loose 3-5 lbs a week for the first couple of months..some are more some are less.  everyone is different.  Don't compare your self to others (I know it is hard not to) Remind me of that later

Anyway you lost a total of 18.5(from your pre-op weigh)!? 35 total?! Thats AWESOME! Hang in there...follow your doctors rules and you will do great!

Well, you're only getting calories from your protein shakes which are only about 190ish calories anyways, depending on brand.

You're doing great!! =)
