Sounds you  are doing it right  you can  use just   measuring spoons  too.  Just eat slow and  when you start to feel full stop if that is before you  eat all that food.   In the beginning that is a lot of food and  you need to take your time and eat protein first.  

Sounds like you are doing  fantastic  keep it up!!!!

The first thing to try if possible ( I know its not easy) is to increase your fluid intake. After that they would look at a dulcolax or colace. Hope this helps :)

If you're a litlte lucky, you'll get the window-bed...it's quieter (the nurses don't have to walk through your space to help your roommate...), and if you're REALLY lucky, you'll have a sweet young girl with dark hair and eyes named Casey as your tech...she's a real sweetheart.  She took AWESOME care of both my wife and myself after each of our surgeries.  She was FANTASTIC, and took the BEST care of both of us.  I'm not kidding...if you have her, you will have a good stay...

(...and if you do...tell her David & Connie Reed said Hello, and let her know we're STILL talking about how good she was to us...to anybody who will listen...)

Hi there!

Yes, the TV's in the rooms DO have jacks, and they take those 1/8th in mini-plug jacks...so any standard MP3 player headphone, etc, will work fine.  Incidentally, I took my MP3 player to listen too, because, frankly, they have a lousy channel selection...so if you have an MP3 player, load that up with some tunes, because you might wish you had that.  It REALLY helped me sleep when my neighbor was noisy at night (all night, EVERY night...)  But, I slept like a baby when I turned the MP3 player and and chilled...  :-)
