Seems like there was a lot of us that day. I am from the Louisville, Ky area, and Dr. Jeff did my surgery. I was only in hospital 3 days, he said I did great, but he wasn't in the pain. lol ))) I too am having a hard time getting my liquids and protein down. I am still on full liquids and he did mention I could have really thin mashed potatoes, which I have really been taking advantage of. I usually eat 3 oz. of yougart for breakfast every morning and after that, very little protein for the day. His nurse told me not to worry about it, I had enough stored for the time being, just concentrate on healing for now. I go back to see him on Dec. 5. Sure hope he adds to my diet. I was very nauseated for the first week, but that has all passed now and other than getting tired a lot, I feel pretty good. Our weather is very cold here now, I know it would be better if I had done this in the warmer time of the year. Good luck to you and we will all do this thing together. My scales say I have lost 24 lbs. since surgery. The scales go down now one pound a day. I can handle that!! Take care, Shirley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
