Hello everybody! Thanks for the encouragement! I am 10 days post op and doing great. Went to the Dr. and I've lost 11lbs. I was a little concerned about my urine becasue it's color was too red to me, but it was fine, and I haven't had any blood pressure meds, but my pressure was 150/90. I was concerned about the 90, but the Doc told me, as I lose weight, that number will come down. I am sipping and sipping, but next week i will get some soups and yogurt and full liquids and he said he would add the protein, whatever that means. Can someone tell me, how does that taste, and how much will I need? Well, just letting you know, that if I had to do it all again, even with the pain I had, i would do it at the drop of a heartbeat. My hardest part is, fixing my husband's dinner. Until next time, take care. E-mail me sometimes! I'll do the pictues very soon!

Leslie, I'm brand new on the website and am having surgery on Monday with Dr. Streeter. Would you mind answering a question??? Exactly what fluids and proteins are you on or did you start with? I need to go shopping!!!

Good luck on your coming surgery. My prayers are with you, and hoping for an uneventful surgery, and a speedy, painfree recovery. Keep your focus on healing. Make sure you walk, and keep up your breathing exercise. YOU CAN DO THIS! See you on the other side.
