Got home this past Friday!

Well, I am home. Went in Wed and out on Friday. Not feeling the best, yet that is expected I guess. Gassy and a bit sore. Have a catheter due to slowness of baldder not contracting well enough for me to pee, yet I have been through this before my last surgery. Everything slows with me due to anesthetic. First night was rough. Felt like crap. Everyday a bit better. Trying to take it easy today as I have a concert tonight ( Rascal Flatts!!) I told myself I would'nt miss that!! Thank god for seating there ( and elevator...lol) It will be fun. Started protein drink yesterday. yet could only get 12 ounces down the whole day. Doctor wants thre 8 oz drink a day. Total fluids a day is 64 oz, yet never made it to that yet. Feel so full. I am trying. Sips every 10 minutes or so. Well I have to rest. Take care everyone!! Andrea

CONGRATULATIONS! sounds like things are going well! WELCOME TO THE LOOSEING SIDE! all the best for a speedy recovery and hope you enjoy that concert! I give you credit to go! I know those first days i was very TIRED! ALL the best lisa xoxox

Welcome home!! I'm 3 months out and just recently was able to get in 64 oz, so don't worry, you're totally normal! My first day home all I could get in was 6 oz of water and that was hard! Just keep trying, it will get better, but it will take a while. As for the protein drinks, I think I got in about 9 ozs a day in the beginning, so I think you're doing well! Hugs, Vi

Andrea, Take it easy and make sure you get your rest Before you know it you will be up and running around again. Take care ~Hugs~ Debra P

Welcome back!!!!! I hope you enjoy the concert. Just had surgery Tuesday and it takes me about 24hrs to sip a 16 ounce bottle of water-lol. But yet the protein supplements I can tolerate. Kristine
