I'm a longtime lurker to this forum., but this is the first time I have posted. I mainly want to say thank you to all the veterans (I'm sure you know who you are). who have shared their advice and tips., wth others. I've absorbed it all and I believe thats is playing a large part of why I feel so good. Granted I am also still in hospital and medicated. But I've been walking, walking today. Around the hallway. Tomorrow I will start drinking. Hoping my luck hold up. No questions from me today. Just a big giant THANK YOU!!! Before I turn in for the night

Great News! Take it slowly. Ramp up to the Protein and Fluid goals. If you need help with getting Protein into things like applesauce, Soup or yogurt try GENEPRO unflavored Protein powder. 1 tablespoon has 30g protein and 98 cals. I still use Premium protein (Choc and vanilla) premade drinks from costco. 30g 160 cals. Couldn't have kept my protein high without these 2 products. Best Wishes!!

@@newme1234 - CONGRATS and HAPPY belated RE-BIRTHDAY!

your story sounds like mine - I am also a Florida girl - who was your surgeon?

I have family in the Maryland area. So I had my surgery with dr Schweitzer at Johns Hopkins
