Surgery over and home

Be sure and keep in mind that the lortab has tylenol in it. So be careful about taking lortab and the liquid tylenol because that means you are getting double the tylenol. The ole liver doesn't like that to well.. Good job on the walking. Sounds like you are doing great.

HI JACK Rita...you look awesome!!!   I LOVE your new avatar!!!

Be careful and don't walk further than the return trip. You'll get the hang of the liquids soon. I'm not sure I got 64 oz down in the beginning either, but I can't remember. Don't weigh yourself until you go in for your first checkup. I went from 303 on surgery day to 289 after 2 weeks of liquids. Don't worry and don't beat yourself up. You're going to do just fine!

The left side hurting is normal -- that's where your old stomach made its exit !  I remember thinking I would never get that much fluid down and at first it was a 24 hour job, but now it's a walk in the park -- and truthfully I get about 96 oz a day now -- who'd a thunk for a person who never drank anything !
