I made it!

Just wanted to post a short note that I came throught surgery just fine. I am now 6 days post-op and have lost 15lbs! I am starting to feel like I did the right thing. The first few days I wasn't sure. I was so sore and felt like crap! But each day is 50% better than the last. The hardest thing for me right now is figuring out what to eat. I am trying to stick to mostly protein, refried beans blended are my fav at the moment. My stomach tolerates them well. But I can't do blended eggs or blended cottage cheese. The both make me want to hurl. I haven't vomited or anything like that. Another thing I am really fighting is getting in my fluids. I have been getting about 30-40 oz a day so far. Trying to figure out the spacing in between meals. My vitamin regimin is going good. No probs there. I will post more about my hospital stay and such on my profile later on. I am still feeling a bit tired and need to rest often. Thanks for all of the support pre-op!!! You will indeed get sick of me post-op as I know I will need you all! Thanks again! xoxo Lori

CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Welcome to the "losing side". I hope you heal quickly, and that things go well for you. Do not worry about the fluids, you will get them in over time. It is all a learning process, so do not stress over it Take Care! Laura

Glad to hear from you. You'd been silent so long we were starting to worry. Good work on the water and congratulations on the weight loss. Looking forward to hearing more on how it went for you. -Pam

I'm glad to hear you're back home Lori and in great spirits as always.
