1 week today, I still hurt but I can gulp!

Hey lady! Yeah, I haven't had to do the 30 minutes on either side yet because my doc said it doesn't matter right now (everything is clear fluids with me anyway). 

LOL, I love Pampered Chef. We have several things from them. I had a family member and a friend that sold it. I still buy more stuff when someone has a party. I love kitchen stuff. I don't cook (hubby does) and he's always wondering what in the heck things I bring home, but... hey!

Good job getting the water in. My hospital sent me home with a BUNCH of 2 oz medicine cups. I used them for taking my meds, but so far, it hasn't been a huge issue. Thank goodness.

Hang in there, we can totally do this!

SLEEVEGIRL, THAT IS MY CONCERN SINCE I AM PRE-OP. I AM A GUZZLER, I DONT HAVE TO EAT. I AM SCARED THAT I WILL NOT BE ABLE TO DRINK AS MUCH WATER AS I WOULD LIKE. IM TRYING TO PRACTICE SIPPING NOW . CONGRATS ON YOUR PROGRESS

Yeah, it truly seems to vary from person to person... you really don't know. Good luck, you can totally do it!

You can tell that you are from Texas Sleevegiri - Dagnabit!!  Wonder if anyone else even understands that?
Hope you continue to do well on your journey! I have my surgery on July 19th. A little nervous I might say!

Heh, I wanted to use stronger language, but I'm a southern lady *snicker*

You'll do fine! Everyone's journey is different, but it is YOURS, embrace it.
