Are you alright? We don't have any news from you since the surgery :)

I asked for you, but we weren't in the same unit, so to much work for them to find you!

Many times I was going to come and write but truthfully just forgot. 

Surgery was on March 20th.  All was well I did very well in the hospital however coming home was a different story.  I have had extreme pain on my left side since I came home.  I did go back to my family doctor as the surgeon is three hours away for me and she advised that for what she knows this is very normal.  I read the forums here quite often so I know that many people seem to complain about the same pain so I guess it is normal.  Everyday is a new day and I am definitely feeling like I am getting stronger.

I am doing ok with my fluids however I am still struggling to get my protein in, I am approximately getting in 25 - 35 grams daily, which is pretty low. 

I did do my weight and measurements last Wednesday as it was a week from surgery and I was down 9 lbs (current weight 224 lbs) so I thought that was pretty good.  I have decided I will do both weight and measurements weekly.

How about you, how are you doing?

I'm doing well....I saw Dr Davey today....2 weeks after the surgery and 30 lb gone! :) I'll go shopping this week end to reward myself...I'm allowing my self reward at 25lb, 50lb, 100lb and i'll see after that :) I found a nice idea for a charm key chain with milestone tags/charms....

The same for me about fluids and protein.....it's a work in progress....
