The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

Sharing my Friday Posted by Krista on 9/26/2025, 9:06 pm First full day home and wanted to share the full picture. - coffee (2/3 cup with sweetener) - 2 cups water - strawberry & cream protein shake made with 1% milk - chocolate protein shake - fat-free chocolate pudding with scoop of protein powder mixed in - Gatorade - 20 minutes on the CUBII (walking outside will be better for me but I'm still tired so CUBII it was) Goal for day was over 60 grams of protein (got about 63) and 2L liquids including shakes Highlight of the day was pooping Took a Tylenol this morning, one at supper time and will take one at bed time. Not in pain - they advised me to stay on schedule for the first few days so taking that advice.

Thank you for sharing... Posted by Joan on 9/27/2025, 6:59 am, in reply to "Sharing my Friday " Please keep sharing! I am very interested in what you're doing each day, so if you don't mind, and have the time, please keep sharing.

I would be happy to! Posted by Krista on 9/27/2025, 8:27 am, in reply to "Thank you for sharing..." They said they will move me along quicker next week to mushy foods depending on how well these first days go so I'm optimistic but not rushing. Following the guidelines. Dietician said our goal is to get you ON FOOD again, not OFF I liked that and found it refreshing!

You are just sailing Posted by Delta on 9/27/2025, 1:49 am, in reply to "Sharing my Friday " through this like a trooper. Both my nephew and niece, who had sleeves, had trouble pooping for days, and even the usual meds didn't help at all for him; they finally flushed him to get him started. Meds finally helped her after several days. They were both in misery. So glad that you skipped the worst part of the surgery.

Man am I glad too! Posted by Krista on 9/27/2025, 9:46 am, in reply to "You are just sailing " Didn't even have to take a stool softener here. God is looking after me or I have a horseshoe up my ass. I'll take either

It sounds like… Posted by Cindy on 9/27/2025, 12:40 am, in reply to "Sharing my Friday " You’ve got this down! Will you just follow up with a local doctor or do you go back to where you had your surgery?

They follow me with online video calls, emails, texts Posted by Krista on 9/27/2025, 8:26 am, in reply to "It sounds like…" for up to 6 years if I need it. There are weekly/ biweekly / monthly calls for the first year.
