Hello everyone, thank you so much for your support it really means alot to me. Sorry that it took me so long to respond but I don't have a computer at home and today I returned to work. I am doing alot better, the only pain that I am still feeling is some muscle pain so my doctor suggested that I wear the band that they give you in the hospital and it has helped alot. Getting fluids in is no longer a battle, but food that is another story. Today I went to Taco Bell and got a Chicken Burrito and I was able to eat all of the insides, which I would say is a little more than half a cup. Is that to much? I know one thing that is the easiest thing to eat so far. Again thank you all for your support.

Hang in there sweetie. The first few weeks are really hard, physically and emotionally. I wasn't really up to a whole lot for about a month (i had open procedure). Take it easy and sip water slowly - it takes a while and this is normal. Your body is in healing mode right now.

If you are eating food from Taco Bell already, you are doing better than I was at that stage. Take it easy on that pouch.

Take Care...it does get better. I had to keep telling myself that over and over and now I believe it because I am living it!

Wow, I guess everyone is different, I couldn't eat that much yet. I can only get in a max of 4 tablespoons of anything (Food) right now, and some days I can't even do that. I don't know if it's bad or good. I'm glad to hear that your doing much better now.
