I had my revision (open) Sept. 12 and I'm doing GREAT! My 1st 3 days were pretty rough, but I'm getting better every day. I'm getting in 70 - 100 grams protein a day (I cheat and use Profecto to make-up for any shortage); getting in all my water plus (I'm normally a big water drinker any way); some times catch myself sipping water at less than the required 30 minute wait so have to work more on that; living on cream soups, hot cerals, fortified puddings and jello - always measuring my 1/4 cup and eating with a baby spoon. Gettting in all vitimins and calcium. I'm such a good little patient. LOL I have not experienced any tummy upset since leaving the hospital - I have 2 small BM's each day like clock work. And to top everything off - I've lost 11 lbs. !!! I haven't experienced any hunger, but do occasionally dream of a big fat juicy hamburger - but not for long. So that's my update - doing pretty darn good! Debbie
