Great news Anne. Hang in there. Day 4 makes the big turn.

Good luck. Keep us updated on progress. No smoking is great (ex smoker here).

Not my first. The pain is not bad. Do not worry. Walking and sipping is work after. Trust me. . Make sure you have gas x. You will need it. It is hard to get fluids in but try very hard. You do not want to get sick from no fluids. You will do well. Days2-4 are worst! Good luck and let us know how u do !!

That liquid was HORRIBLE. Made me dry heave horribly. Tried it twice then went without. Each person is different but many people did not have significant pain to use. Good luck !

A friend of mine experienced this last year. Unfortunately she still experiences some pain. However she said as the clots broke up the pain decreased. Good luck and I wish u a safe recovery those things are bad news.

I am with smo! Tell us. I checked into Hampton and they have those cookies. Wanted one....did not partake.

Great job!!

Hi beba. My doctor provided our high protein liquids etc. I did like the pudding and vanilla shakes . Lived on sf Popsicles and at nite I walked a lot on the treadmill as my hubby ate...so mean. But I needed it. Broth I eat alot of. I like it tho. Some folks do not. I bought the boxed Lipton noodle soup and strained it. Good childhood memories.

So cool!

It is major surgery. It is normal. My hubby was same way. Once done and I made it through first few weeks they are taking it better! Good luck!

I think we should cut folks s break here. It is yogurt not a whole pie. I am doubtful we will all go through the rest of our lives without what we want. I ate a chocolate covered cherry today while with my dad at Harry and David. I did not explode or die. I did not like it either. But not the point. Just write it down and track in your food for the day.

I was in about 90 minutes with hernia repair. In recovery about 4 hours. Lived within 45 mins of center so I was allowed to go home.

I have started walking the perimeter. I eat so lite my love of cookings has decreased. I find myself at the hot food area buying a few things to make it through the week. My hubby is not overweight and I think he does not mind and has been eating less crap also. I am 6 weeks out and I find no love there like I used too. . Depressing but I am ok with it now

Great work! Working toward that again! One day..... Keep it up.

WOW and double WOW! You guys do not even look like the same people. Awesome job everyone !

Meatballs with marinara and meatloaf with gravy were favs! However I made homemade chili and stew that were tasty also

I made homemade stews and chili's. I also had the yogurts, tuna and canned chicken with some low fat cream cheese or mayo (heated). My fav was meatloaf and gravy !!!

So exciting. You can really see difference! Congrats.

If your pills are larger than an m&m you should crush them. Check with pharmacist if you do not know if extended released or if bottle does not warm against it. It will be easier. I also put mine in apple juice and Gatorade.

Jason Jason Jason ! I am 6 weeks out and still get the nagging thing in my head,especially when I watch others eat my old favs! All of your experience is where we all were. I do not emotionally eat anymore. I made it through the last two weeks at work with 4 parties for birthdays etc. I craved nothing if my past. I did sneak a bite or two of cookie dough this evening baking for a friend (skinny one) for her post back surgery snack..it tasted good for a minute. Truly only a minute. food does not mean the same anymore. You will be fine! You will grieve for your food in a week or so..them realize you don't like most of it anymore. . RELAX.

Dear lord! I am so sorry to hear this. Is there anything we can do to support you? This sounds like a one in a million result. You are sounding very positive dispite your experience

Count them all!!!!!

You look awesome! Jealous of your back I am so happy for all of us !!!!!!

Awesome. Keep rockin the sleeve holly !

Rock it holly! Woohoo!
