I'm so glad to hear you guys are doing great. Congratulations to you on your recent achievement. Save me some room on the bench, I'm coming next week.Take care, get plenty of rest and try to get your fluids in. Kwheen

Pat... I am so tickled for you...especially since you had open! Now I feel like a whiner! (just kidding) I'm glad you're feeling good and keep posting...I know it helps me to see what others are going thru. Peggy

Hey Pat, i too had my surgery on the 7th!!! I feel great. But i am having a problem getting all the protein in. Any advice????? Are you still on liquids only???

Hi Danielle glade to meet you on the losing side. yes i am still on liquids and will be until the 25th i too am having a hard time getting the protein down. i went for my two week( 15 pds) check up yesterday and the doc was pleased enough that i was getting down two protein shakes, but said to try for more this week the best one for me is chocolate protien powdermixed by the directions and a tsp. of peanut butter makes it like a reese cup ( i'm a chocolate addict). the nutritionist only advice was remember this time will pass and it will get better.
