I am home!

I had my surgery this past Tuesday, and came home Thursday evening.  All is going well. I am walking a lot and getting my fluids in. I started full liquids this afternoon and the pudding and protein powder tasted great compared to broth and jello! I think I'll have cream of something soup tonight.

I am feeling a little sad about not being able to eat some of my favorite foods--but I keep tellig myself that I won't be on liquids forever and that it is worth it!

Thank you all for your support. I hope to make it to a support group soon!

Take care,

Nicki

Welcome home and congrats on having a safe successful surgery.

Welcome Home. I'm 10 days out and can hardly wait to get off these liquids; I really want to sink my teeth into something! Best wishes for a speedy, uneventful recovery!

Great to hear things are going well! Thanks for checking in!

Welcome to the losers bench!

P.S. If you have any questions at all about the pain level, huger level, what you should or shouldn't be eating just let me know! Good Luck!

Welcome home Nicki!  Wishing you all the best and a speedy recovery.  We all go through mourning the foods we can not have after surgery. The first month is usually the hardest but it does get easier.

Take care,

Nicki -

Welcome to the loser's bench!!!  Glad everything is going well.  Don't worry - "mourning" the loss of your friend food is completely normal. 

I promise that you WILL again be eating normally - this time, the amount you eat will be restricted and you'll be making healthier choices, but eventually, it will all fall into place.

Hang in there - it DOES get better!

Hugs,

Tia
