Hello all! The Isopure isnt gritty, it just has an after taste like no other it kinda make your tongue dry. I drink it real fast in 30 cc shots! The apple melon isnt that bad and the rasberry is ok. I wish I could event something to go over your tongue and the drink goes right to your stomach.lol

I have surgery at 9 am. I have found the nectar chocolate truffle Protein Shakes to be the best. I hope I still like it after tomorrow.

Walking helps me with gas pressure. I don't do it every hour, but I feel pretty good when I do it...except dry mouth.

I'm home now. How are you doing?

[meeganlee 33]

Much better than I would have thought! I am a bout to go home. Slight sore tummy and my thoat was hurting until they gave me liquid Vic Odin, and now that is fine too. I have done a lot of sleeping and waLking. How are you doing? I hope you are well!

I think I am doing okay. I came home with the following meds: stool softener and Clear Lax, Hydrocodone Bitaartrate and Acetaminophen (liquid) for pain, Ondansetron for nausea, robaxin for muscle spasms. I also have enoxaparin (a blood thinner), because of a family history of blood clots. I feel a little overwhelmed by the meds, the Vitamins, drinking and "eating" liquid foods.

I did not get a lot of sleep last night. I would wake up for meds or to walk every other hour. I don't think I can lay down the normal way in bed. I am a side sleeper, but the thought of being extremely prone with all the incisions in my stomach scares me. I may sleep sitting up in a chair. Also, I have that breathing device to reinflate my lungs. I still haven't powered up to the level the docs want me to attain.

I know the next few days are going to be a big adjustment. Hopefully I can stay hyrdrated, etc.
