Before surgery I actually did really well...I didn't even take anything to calm me down. Now they said I did really well and was really not that "wet"...so much so that I have barely anything coming out in my drain. I am feeling better and drinking most if not all my liquids, but I am having the darnest time with flavors. EVERYTHING is too strong for me and I have to delute it down by at least half, except for canned broth. I still feel like I am completely been beat up in my stomache area especially my drain and belly button and my head feels slightly off. But that being said. I am in less pain that I thought I would be and am able to do anything I am up to....Oh...and all pain meds in and out of the hospital, put me right to sleep !

Hey, you describe exactly how I'm feeling too... (minus the flavor thing) I went from feeling like I kicked in the gut by an elephant (day 1 being home) to feeling like I was kicked in the gut by a large dog (day 4 being home). Each day gets a little better, hang in there!!! Marilyn

I find things are really strongly flavored too. I made the mistake of adding Unjury protein to my yogurt today, and I put in too much for the small amount of yogurt and I can taste a residue. I guess I will try wateing it down and mixing it wil another protein drink later on. I really don't want to waste the expensive protein. My soreness is amost all gone, and I'm at 3 days out. Now that I got a good night's sleep last night, I'm raring to go today. Hang in there, it gets better each day.

So glad to hear you are home and feeling better. That whole taste thing is so weird. Do you know why it happens? I see people mention it all the time, but I don't know why . . . .Glad you are on this side of the surgery table! Denise

Glad your home and doing fine. I find that all the 'sweetened' products are way to sweet for me. I have to add more water to all the crystal lite products etc. I too think this is weird. I had no problem with them before... Now if I dont delute them it is like my tongue feels 'fat'...
