I made it I am officially a loser now

!!!! got home last night. I had to stay a couple of extra days because I was having sme rectal bleeding and my blood count dropped some....but over all I feel great, not much pain, not even close to what I was expecting. Gas is going away!! I am totally smoke free x5 days and gonna stay that way!!!

because cigs taste awfull now... now my dilemma is what to do with myself now that i am not eating or smoking lol. Hope everybody else is doing well that had surgery this week. more later

Congrats Barb!! Hope you stay as Happy

as you sound today. I'm new to the site so I dont' know where you started but I know you're going the right direction.

My Surgery is Monday 8/30 so I'll check back with you next week when I get home and see how you're doing.

Welcome home Barb! Unfortunately, drinking fluids will now be your new hobby since we can't eat much! Honestly, at 3 wks out, I feel like all I do is stuff my face! There is constantly a supplement needed or a pill or something. Then when I'm not dealing with that, I'm trying to get in as much water and crystal light as possible. You'll learn that just about everything tastes awful at first. Things I love make me gag when I smell them. Good Luck, Remember, the first 4-6 wks are the hardest, then its all downhill! Leland
