Clarabelle 0 Posted May 16, 2011 Thank you all soo much! I am feeling fabulous really!! It has been a much better experience than I expected! I feel almost normal now besides being sore at the incisions and the gas etc.. I've already been able to get in at least 40 oz of fluids and yesterday got my 60grams of protien in!! The 2nd day was the worse since the liquid loratab made me sick, but that quickly subsided! I went to work for 6hrs on Friday and that was a bit long. I was definately tired when I went home and took a 2 hr nap and then was fine. The nurses at the hospital kept joking with me saying...are you sure they actually did surgery on you? I was up and walking around etc. I am just sooo excited about the rest of my journey!! Praise God and all his Glory for this new life! :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
