Well I'm 5 days out and today is the first day I actually feel great. Hardly any pain in my abdomen and I'm learning how to SIP my fluids. 

It's funny b/c I thought I was sipping before but now I understand that I was still gulping too much and it was causing discomfort.. not really pain just a horrible fullness.. so now I'm being more careful.

I had a death in my family Wednesday morning so that has probably propelled me into getting up and doing more than I normally would have.. but I'm still taking it easy though.

I know I didn't get all of my fluids in the first few days b/c it made me too uncomfortable to drink very much... Popsicles are the easiet to eat though.

Congrats on your surgery and good luck.

Glad to hear you're doing well. I'll eat a rib in your honor today!!!!

Way to go on your five days out.
Lashell that was funny, eating a rib in her honor.
I am glad that the 4th was my last big meal. Now I am working on my independence of eating too much food.

So glad you are doing great!

I stocked up on popsicles this weekend! Also dragged out my old sno-cone machine to chip up my ice really fine. I think that will be yummy with my crystal light next week.  I will remember about sipping!

Have a great weekend and take care of yourself!!!

YESSSS popsicles are heaven.. when I first woke up they gave me some crystal light and i couldn't get it down .. then I had a mayfield banana popsicle.. that was the BEST popsicle ever ever ever.
