I had my surgery on the 16th and just got home today at noon my doc kept me an extra nite because i was so week.  My feet and hands fell like they r gonna pop off with so much fluid lol i ate some cottage cheese and sf jello puddin when i got home i only took water in the hospital due to the nastiness of the jello and broth:))  Good luck with everything:))

Good luck to you also.  All of the edema that I had has went away.  You are so lucky to have cottage cheese I am clear liquids for 3 week after surgery.  It funny you mentioned the broth and jello from the hospital the I had were horrible also.

Belated welcome home, Linda!  Glad you're swelling has gone down.  Sorry about the pain though... I don't recall that much pain, did you have laproscopic?

As I said before, I'm here for you... email or call me!
