~~3 days post-op~~

Hi Everyone!! I am now 3 days post-op and I can tell you it has been a good day. My best day so far, I feel I have rounded the corner from the initial wanting to sleep or take pain meds and sleep more....so day three is wonderful! I am just now feeling somewhat hungry! I am on full liquids, and 4 opti-fast a day and that seems to be good. Just wanted to post for all of you who have surgery coming up and let you know it is all "OK"!! I am enjoying being off work too!! Take Care and Hello to all....... Susan

Susan- SO glad to hear you're doing well. I know I will be fine after surgery~~~~ lots of positive thinking!!! I hope your recovery keeps on trucking along!!!! Janet

Hi All, I'm 7 days post op and seem to be doing very well. Was having problems with gas for a few days but after my first bm that seem to be gone. It seem to me that every waking minute I'm trying to get the required 60 to 80 grams of protein a day down. I've gotten up to 48 grams so far. One thing that is really bugging me is the horrid after taste constantly in my mouth!!! YUK It seem like I've used a whole tube of tooth past and bottle of mouth rinse in one week! Sure do hope it eventually goes away. Hang in there all, Anita
