Hi Ladies!!

I came home yesterday and I feel just like I imagined I would....in some pain but able to drink easily, sleep restfully, no remorse and feeling better and better everyday!

I added Propel mix to my water and it goes down very easy now. Not having any problem doing 2 8oz protein shakes a day. I had 4 oz of cream of mushroom last night as my 1st real meal.

It is amazing to me that I have no desire for food! Yes, I know that it what was supposed to happen but I just couldn't imagine it. It really worked!!

I'm still taking Lortab. The pain is mostly when go to stand up or sit...not bad at all. My abdomen is still swollen...can't wait for that to go away.

Overall....great experience. The surgery was easier than my c-section, tonsillectomy, and breast reduction. Very happy and surprised about that!!

I'm on the loser's bench...WHOHOOOOOOO!!! Thanks for all your support and prayers...you all are the best!
