Im Home!

I just wanted to let you all know that I am home. I had my surgery on Dec 13th, was released on the 15th, and readmitted early on the 16th. I had to have a second surgery. I have read so many peoples reviews and how easy it was for them. We all are all different. Because this sure does hurt! I can't seem to get in a comfortable position to sleep! and Im tired! I can only get in about 4 cups of water a day. This does not include the protein. Does it get easier? Melissa

Welcome home. Why did you have to have a 2nd surgery? Was your surgery open? I'm sorry that you had to go through this twice. I had my surgery on 12/12 & came home on 12/14. I (knock on wood) haven't had any difficulties getting in my water - as long as it's room temperature. I also find that I can drink a cup of broth easier than water or crystal light. Good luck. You're only an hour from where I live.

Oh Melissa - what a coincidence - I was JUST thinking that we hadn't heard from you since your surgery and I JUST logged on to see if you had updated your profile and saw your post! I am so happy you are home.....and sure hope the pain you are currently experiencing goes away quickly! Did you have a leak? Is that why you had to have the second surgery? I sure hope things get better for you real fast! Bonnie

Hey, Melissa, I was watching for you - glad you're back and congratulations. Sorry you had to be readmitted -why did you need another surgery?! Inquiring minds want to know... Best wishes and a big hug, Anne

Hello Just thought I would answer the questions as to why I needed a second surgery. I had a leak. They did not do the leak test before I left the hospital. They did it when I returned. Anyway, things are going better. I started back to work. I'm exhausted! Fluids are going down alot easier. I'm still having problems with protein. Anybody have any suggestions regarding protein. Thanks Melissa
