Well, here I am, back in my own little home office. Things didn't go quite as I envisioned them, but I'm pleased to say I'm very happy with the results.

I went in hungry and darn near whimpering with a growling belly. I came out with no wish to eat at all. None. Zip. Nada. I have to force myself to look at bouillion, Jello, and popsicles. :confused: They kind of turn me off. Whether that's from eating them for nearly a week, or lack of appetite, I can't say.

Conversely, food still smells great. My roomie Dante cooked one of my chicken recipes last night, and I supervised (more or less). I got a splash of the sauce on my thumb, licked it out of habit, and that was enough. I didn't want any more, just that taste. He did a decent job. I wandered out in the living room with another cup of tea, totally disinterested while my two men acted like starving wolves over a carcass. :grouphug:

Admittedly, I tire easily. This is to be expected. I did just have abdominal surgery, after all. Long as I take my Gas-X to get rid of the lingering gas pains, I'll be fine. I feel a bit jet-propelled already, but my shoulder still hurts now and then. Best to stay on top of it.

Other than that, I need only Liquid Tylenol. Not bad at all. I'll keep you informed as I can.

have you had your post op appt. to find out when your first fill is?

Not yet, Flowla. I see the doc on the 8th, and we probably schedule the fill then. I do know he wants to wait until the swelling goes down.

Thanks for asking! I'll keep blogging.
