I'm done!

I had my surgery on Monday, the 15th and today (the 22nd) I feel great!! I can drink fliuds easily and can already sleep on my stomach. I have to tell you all - on Thursday, when I arrived home and even Saturday I would have never recommended this to anyone. But, now that I feel better, it's another story. The only fear I have is that sometimes I still have hunger pangs - and I didn't want that.

Congratulations Barbara. I am so glad you did so well. I am having mine on Monday so I hope to do as well as you. Keep up the good work. Ann

Glad you are doing so well. Hugs!

Congrats!!! From what I understand, we all have hunger pangs when we start to feel good but are still just on the liquids. Trust me...... they disappear as soon as you can have some pureed foods!!!! I was given the go ahead yesterday and I made myself a WONDERFUL dinner last night. I made an egg crepe and then mixed some ricotta and mozzarella together, put it inside the crepe, rolled it up and turned it over, put some sauce and mozzarella on top and baked it - and it was the most delicious manicotti I have ever eaten!!!!!!! Of course I couldnt even eat 1/3 of it, but I saved the rest and will enjoy it at my leisure!!!! I also added some unflavored whey protein to the egg and to the ricotta mixture to boost the protein in it. Good luck! God bless you and keep you. ~Andrea

Congrats Barbara, I hope I feel so good so fast. Keep up the good work. Martha
