Hello OFF!

I am home from surgery! I got to come home yesterday. Surgery went fine and I'm doing okay. Still very sore, but I only had a minimum of real pain the first day. Feeling my way very carefully with liquids this week, but doing okay there, too. Just taking tiny sips and no overdoing it.

Just wanted to say hello and thanks for the well wishes and support! I've missed you all!

Woo hoo Vickie, your journey is now in full swing and sounds good so far, just be careful not to be lulled into a false security, because I felt very good and overdid and then I paid for it. It is still major surgery . . . . Wishing you continued well being.

Thanks Laureen! I'm being real careful and taking it easy. My DH is taking good care of me! I am walking a little every few hours, but other than that, I'm just resting. I feel so much better today! I always appreciate your good advice.

Thanks Julia! I'm trying. The protein requirement is quite overwhelming right now. I had 2 ounces of optifast tomato soup earlier today, and a little bite of Dannon light & fit yogurt a while ago. And that's not much protein, but it's all the "food" I can tolerate right now. I am drinking my water though. Little sips all day long.

Hi Judy! I just love your phase: sip, sip, sip and walk, walk, walk. You have no idea how often I have repeated that to myself the last three days! Thanks, my friend! Vic
