I am on the 19th also and can't wait ..Is anyone having to give themseves the shots each day so we won't get blood clots.

Can't figure out the ticker but I will (I hope)

We are getting there !!! So excited.

[jaria007 2]

I have to do the shots afterward. It's not bad. I still have a stash of them from the last time I had to do them lol. Just go to tickerfactory.com and fill out the info, then cut and paste the code into your signature

Hi Dorothy, I am doing well..still sore and very exhausted. BUT I have been trying to rest and walk at the same time - so it gets a little crazy. I am having a hard time keeping liquids down - I can only take 1 sip at a time, which is a welcomed change!! I am NOT hungry at all, I hope this lasts!!

I tried a Protein shake for the first time today - it was really good (the 2 sips that I had of it, LOL). It was CHIKE brand banana Protein powder - my surgeon's office gave me a ton of samples - half cup of 1% milk, half of a banana, 1 tbs of Peanut Butter and ice, blended until smooth...it was yummy - if only I can finish it! I really don't see how I am going to be able to get 54 grams of Protein in a day on just liquids...I can barely get in 32 ounces of tea, Water and apple juice...

Hopefully it gets better...

OK, off to move around a little more. May 19th-ers please post and let us know how you are doing and what you are drinking..

cheers!:tongue:
