It was this discomfort that lasted the longest.

Lap hysterectomy will be either the 29 or 31. I find out the exact date tomorrow and time. Dr said cancer but most likely stage 1. Unless it spread to tubes or ovaries. However, I do have a cyst on left ovary as well. That was found when all other testing was done. Staging will be determined after the hysterectomy. I should know the staging in the 1st week in Feb. Stage 1 is best case scenario cuz the hysterectomy and removal of lymph nodes associated with it will take care of the cancer. So fingers crossed that its at stage 1!!!!!

Best of luck to you, try to remain positive

I'm so jealous of all of you that get in 50+oz of Water a day. I have a 32oz Nalgene bottle and yesterday was the first time I've been able to finish one, let alone 2!! How do you find the time (or pouch space) to drink that much?!?

I'm new to using this app, so if I am doing this wrong someone pease let me know. I had my surgery December 26th in Dallas, TX. Everything has been going great, starting to really miss food! I am still on a soft food diet for 2 more weeks, but I am getting discouraged because my weight keeps going up and down. Anyone out there experience the same?

Praying its S-1 and the hysterectomy will be the end of it. I had a partial a few years back and its a lot like this surgery as far as healing.

You've always been very helpful and basically an inspiration to our January groups, so rest assured we will all unite to be the same to you and offer as much support as you want as you go through this.

I just buy the 20oz bottled water. Start in the morning drinking every time i see the bottle. A second bottle in the afternoon. Again everytime i see it i drink. Then a third bottle at night.

Believe me i stop 30 min on both sides of my three meals and i drinking the rest of the time!

I have days where i'll miss a bottle, but i feel like i've drank more water since my surgury than in the first 37yrs of my life! When i miss the goal i just try for three the next day.

The 60oz IMO is the goal and if i achieve it most days i'm good.

Purée stage foods, scrambled eggs, tuna, egg, and chicken salad, Wendy's chili, mashed potatoes, sweet potatoes, refried Beans, hummus! I add melted cheese to chili and refried beans. Also melted cheese on scrambled eggs. Light mayo with tuna or egg salads. Also imitation crabmeat you can eat too. Cream of wheat!

Nicole gave a very good list. My Dr and a lot of others only required a week or two, our choice, with puréed foods. Thank heavens. Believe me 1 week and I was done w that.

It is good to see you over here Ash :-) I hope your recovering nicely :-)

If I didn't say it over on Jan list, welcome to the losers bench :-) Thank you for joining us here.
