Sandrie 23 Posted May 13, 2012 I'm doing good! Getting hungry but today I finally got 35 grams of Protein soooo happy! I'm going to eat some Jello and more protein, hoping this is quick. Saturday I start my mushy foods finally! No longer using pain meds only at night to sleep.< /p> I do feel like band is up in my chest so when I feel tight I inhale and exhale. It helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sandrie 23 Posted May 15, 2012 Hi, yes I'm still on liquids till Friday. Saturday I will start on mushies finally. Monday was my first official day WITHOUT nausea! Yay!!!

shy2012 43 Posted May 19, 2012 It actually went better than I thought it would go. Just have extreme cotton mouth and sore throat when the pain mess wear off. Other than that I'm fighting the gas, I'm walkin 10-15 min every few hours then whenever I get up I walk around the house about 5 min. It's working! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
