Nicole, how are you feeling?

Nic, I was thinking about you today, and hoping that these past few days have brought you some relief. I know the eating part is tough. But, I'm hoping that you aren't having much pain, and that you're finding your walking and drinking getting easier. If you are like me, after you get your drain out this week, you'll feel a lot better. Hang in there girl, you did great pre-op, and you will do amazing post-op too! As always, sending positive healing thoughts your way, Hugs! Kathy

Kathy, thanks for asking about me. I am doing alot better actually. I am still sore but each day is a little less. I can walk though i get tired easily. Right now i am bored. w/out food as a passtime, i have a lot more time on my hands. i take a medication for depression and anxiety and today i feel a bit anxious. hopefully that will pass.  i am able to take in all my liquids, which is great. I was worried about that initially but I can definitely get in what is required. i get lazy and sometimes don't do that but hopefully the better i feel, the easier that will be. as for the drain, that was taken out before i left the hospital.  i do miss food so much though. 'sigh' but i am working through it. i'm sure it will get easier as time goes by thanks for your support!

I'm so glad you're feeling better!  It will get easier to get in more water! You will also feel even better when you do. Once I got to solid food, when I didn't get all my water in, it was hard to eat other foods. Our bodies sure have strange ways of telling us what they need. You will find a replacement for the part in your life that food held. When you are able, your increased activity level will help you keep busy. Definitely work with your therapist or psych doc to get through this time, you deserve the help.

Hi Nicole, I am so glad to read that you are already feeling better.  I totally agree with what kathy says.   Take care this time shall pass and it will be very different for you soon snd you will be over the moon with the new you. Best wishes!
