Anne Heard......How was your first day back?

Just checking on you to see how the first day back at school went for you? I have made it alright so far. The kids help though they keep me busy so I don't have time to think about being tired. Being as this is the last week of school I knew I needed to be back with them. Still finding I am tired by the evening time.Also, still working hard to get the fluids in. So far I have had an easy time with everything other than the fluid consumption. Let me hear from you. Also, any new updates on Michelle? Patrice

First day back was ok. I didn't start getting tired until two weeks out from surgery. That is my main problem and it is not as bad as it was last week. I not only started back to work I had to go to school tonight. I go to school on Monday and Tues from 4:30 until 8:30 or so. So I had a long day but feel fine. I am glad you are doing well. I hope you don't do too much too soon. I am going to do a seperate post about michelle.

Partice, if you don't mind me asking how much water are you able to get down? I am having the same problem, I am 2 1/2 weeks post op & I can finally get 40oz. in a day, but they keep saying I needed more. Tammy Gunter

Tammy, I am struggling to get in 40 oz a day.. If I drink too much my new tummy begins to hurt and lets me know to stop. As for protein I am struggling there too. I have started adding it to my puddings and other things. I have yet been able to stomach drinking it. I am planning on weighing again this weekend. Trying not to make it a habit of weighing too often. I just don't feel like I am losing anything. Am I crazy or what I know it has to be going somewhere but I just don't see it going yet...... Perhaps I am going to be a slow loser......Time will tell I suppose... Patrice
