Hi everyone. Make room for me on the bench please!!!
I'm so happy to say than when I came out of surgery and even right now. I'M NOT HUNGRY!!! I had some acid reflux last night, so I did not get enough rest. Right now I'm getting in my 64 oz of H2O. Drinking it very slowly, tiny little sips.. I met Cricket, she was my Respiratory Therapist this morning before I left the hospital, she totally ROCKS!!! Thanks Doctor Broussard, you ROCK & you are really professional and sweet as can be. I suppose these next two weeks I will lose a lot of weight, since I'm going to be on liquids. I will keep in touch gals and guys......
Thanks everyone for your thoughts and prayers....

Thank you for posting! You sound great! I'm so happy for you. As best you can, please do some walking. In the early days and weeks, I set my timer to go off every 15 minutes, to remind me to get up and walk a bit in my house. No blood clots for me! :)
Keep sipping, of course, and when you feel a bit empty, it's time for a protein drink or shake (in my opinion). It took me a LONG time to feel empty, though.
Yes, it's a nice change not to feel hungry. Enjoy the journey.
Blessings,
Mary
