The shower was awesome. I actually feel human again.  My doc told me to take the bandaids off before i took the shower and the little strips that were there fell off.   Wonder if this is cuz i am allergic to tape and they had to use something else.  Almost got dressed and made hubby take me out to the store except my underwear and trouser**** that waistline where are the incisions are.  This to shall pass.  Got tons of gas and wonder where it all comes from...lmao.   I keep getting up to walk as worried about blood clots so doing everything they tell me.   Have you been able to start soft food yet?  Can't wait for a scrambled egg on day 10....and they are not normally one of my favs.    Thanks again all.     Pam

I have been doing good today until i drank one of those protein bullets.  Since then, my stomach has been having a war and i have ended up running to the bathroom with loose bowels.  Anyone know if it can be this. Thanks  again

Thanks again everyone.   Going walking today today at Target to get out of the house and get some walking in.  Was gonna go to the mall but probably wouldn't make it out of the first store..hahaha.    Thanks again, Pam

My doc has me on liquids incl. protein and said the bullet was fine.   Took it a little slower today and was fine until i did tomato soup for dinner.    Think i need to sip a little slower.   I am also in menopause and haven't had the monthly visitor since October but the monster decided to make a visit today!!    Got out to the store a little today and plan on getting out more tomorrow.   Hope you are doing better Wendy!
