My name is Michelle. I had my surgery last Monday, 9/28. I am 42 years old and live in Huntington, WV. I'm eager to find people who understand what I am going through and help me along the way.
The first week has certainly been an up and down roller coaster. Friday was by far the absolutely worst day. I don't know if it was post surgery blues, over doing it, or what but I cried a lot, thought I was hungry, and towards the end of the evening, while trying to support my daughter in the color guard @ her high school football game, I got really sick (thank goodness I did not throw up) and I was really scared. However, I feel the light is at the end of the tunnel. I think once I can move up to the next level of food, I'll feel better. The chicken broth/jello and Popsicles are just annoying at this point.
I have had a HORRIBLE time dealing w/the Protein drinks this week and know that i've not gotten near as much as I should have. I tried the Isopure from GNC and that was just beyond disgusting to me. I've tried to make due with the Special K protein Water this week but I know that's not nearly enough protein. Hoping again, it will be easier when I can move up to the Protein shakes, etc.
Anyway, I just wanted to drop in for a quick hello. Look forward to meeting new peeps and having some support through this. :smile:
