I got out of the hospital today....

Hi Everyone, I got out of the hospital this afternoon. I'm feeling pretty good other than the ride to my mom's just about killed me. I can see why I didn't ride all the way home to Danforth. I'm finding it amazing that I never feel hungry. I am feeling really dry though, is that normal? I feel like I could drink a big glass of ice water down but I know that I can't. I've been eating alot of ice chips, I find that they quench the thirst a little better. Can anyone tell me where they bought the Carnation Instant Breakfast Sugar Free? I looked into the Walmart SuperCenter but they don't have it. I just wanted to thank everyone for their support. I really appreciate it. Michelle Austin

Hi Michelle, I'm so glad that you're home. What a nice feeling (even though there are some "ouches" along the way). I found the "no sugar added" Instant Breakfast at Hannaford's in Bangor. Are there any near you? Best wishes! Kent

Kent, Thanks for the information. I do my grocery shopping at a Hannaford store so I'll have to look. My mom also called Shaw's thing morning and they said that they also carried it. I'm hoping that I'll be lucky enough to find the vanilla because that what I really liked in the hospital. Thanks Again, Michelle

I found the no sugar added CIB at Shaws. I didn't like it though. Would rather drink a regular protein drink. More protein, less calories for the bang! Good luck in your recovery. Lynda ME/FL

Congrats on coming home. It is amazing the feeling of not being hungry. I haven't had the dry feeling, but I am constantly sipping. The CIB instant breakfast I found at shop n save and shaws.. but only the chocolate. I liked the vanilla in the hospital, but can't find it anywhere.. so I am just doing regular protein shakes. Take care ~Heather

Welcome home Michelle, I am so glad to hear you are doing well. You sound fantastic. How long was the trip to your moms? I had almost 2 hours home and ran into a HUGE hail storm, and it was JULY!! Very scarey, made DH pull over till it stopped. How long before you get to go home? More then a couple days and I bet you want to go home bad. Great to see you posting, please keep use updated. Theres
