Dody 0 Posted July 21, 2006 This morning I'm still sore in the port area, but don't have that beat up feeling I was beginning to wonder who I had ticked off in the OR to be feeling so beat up I can drink and take my pills just fine and last night had my first chocolate pudding with absolutely no problem. I have to admit it filled me up completely. I realize I'm at that wonderful state with post-op swelling and before any fills and I'm going to enjoy it, because I know life will change after the fills begin. My dr. is very non-aggressive with fills, so this may be a good thing for me. I'm 64-years-old so definitely no kid having this done, but it has been so worth it. I have always looked and felt younger than I was until my heart surgery, and I hope to be feeling that way again before too long. I haven't set my goal to low in my weight loss, although I'm hoping for more, but know I will look good at 170 as I'm 5'8" and wear a size 12 when I'm that weight. It's too soon to imagine 150 for me, but maybe some day. Thanks to all of you that responded. The forum is an awesome place for info. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
