Hi Everyone,
I finally have the energy to post.  I can read post from my cell but cannot post for some reason.  So anyway I had my surgery Tuesday the 21st.  It went well.  I did choose to spend the night in the hospital at my costs due to not feeling well and needing help with voiding and not passing out when standing.  I guess i went into surgery a bit dehydrated so I ended up with a ton of fluids.  Surgery went well and I came home Wednesday with compression garments and 4 drains.  I have basically been couch ridden since then.  I have showered and pain is minimal but just no energy to do anything but sleep.  I have also had a hard time eating.  Everything turns my stomach.  I was set on protein, protein, protein but decided yesterday that anything was better than nothing as all my protein choices were not working so I had a banana and fudgicle...then a frozen meal.  I am feeling much better and now am able to eat a bit more.  Never thought I would have to force myself to eat!!!!  I go Wednesday to get three drains out (so they say...not much drainage) the 4th is still draining alot so I think I will have to keep it for a while.  I hope to post pictures as soon as I am able.  They removed about 5 lbs of extra skin. :)

Glad you are on the mend, remember though you need the protein to help heal those wounds!  Can I bring you some? I know you don't have protein powder around anymore.
