3 days out/first night home

Just keep swimming!  You'll be able to gulp water again, but not until the swelling goes down from surgery.  Cold water felt really weird going down for me for a long time.  I'm almost three years out and can drink aggressively.  :D

Its weird because I've heard people say they couldn't tolerate cold. But they gave me ice chips before water, then gave me ice water. So I just drank it. Then I wouldnt be able to fini**** all so it would get room temp and that for some reason would make me even thirstier. Ive always liked ice cold drink maybe thats it lol 

Try some sugar free Popsicles for your thirst. 

You know what I have found? When I eat popsicles (the stick kind), I dont just bite in. I have to kind of suck on them and soften them up before I can bite some off... When I do that, its like I bring in air from the sucking with the juice, and it almost ****** off my sleeve. I have to be careful lol

The frozen ice pop things from being a child, those arent as bad. Can bite off quicker.

Wonder how common that is

I'm not sure. My pouch is definatley not that sensitive . My night stand usually looks like a Popsicle stick grave yard 

Nope I bite and let it melt in my mouth ma**** around with my tongue so its nice and soft and dont swallow til its liquid. 

Wow. That sounds weirdly like porn written by a murderer.

I'm going to hell.

I felt that way writing too lol

Oh girl I do lol

Congrats April.  How are you feeling? I can't wait to have buyer's remorse and be on the losing side. I am so excited. Take it one day at a time and get back to your up and going self  soon. God bless ;-)

I was like that too lol. But girl the first few days are awful. Starting to feel better though!
