Hi from another 18ther! Didn't get back to this board til today, but I'm glad to hear you're doing well! I'm amazed at how "easy" it is for me to get my fluids in, I'm now a better judge of when I need to slow it down a bit. Slowly adding more activity each day. Have my 10-day follow-up tomorrow. If my home scale is correct, I'm already down 22 pounds since surgery, not including the post-op fluid gain/loss. I started out at 400+, so that has to be considered, but it is so flippin' amazing!!! I'll hopefully be starting purees tomorrow. Cream of wheat and scrambled eggs are sounding soooo good right now! Congrats! And keep us updated!
