For my reversal surgery. 17 months.

It's long awaited and now nervous time. I'm having a good lunch today.

All you have to do tomorrow is take a deep nap. I'm told I pack too much for hospital stays, but.... I don't care, I'm the one having surgery.

The best authentic Mexican burrito with salsa verde and green chilies and chicken tamales, and dinner tamales, and jalapeno venison sausage. Gotta get my spicy food out of my system.

Ha! I dare not try that after surgery for a while. Think I'll eat extremely bland food after. If I have to, a B.R.A.T. diet

Scrambled eggs, soups, ground beef, baked fish. We'll see. I'm a starving kind of girl. I love my food. I'm already hungry. I was told nothing after midnight and it's only 9:17.

I had bought those Gerber baby puffs when I was on soft foods after graduating from thick liquids. My teen son loved them and pretty much ate them all lol

I had my surgery 6 days ago. I feel so much better. 5 days back to regular diet. As before surgery, I eat little bites to make sure I tolerate them well. Yesterday, tuna sandwich. I mostly ate tuna for dinner, 4 bites of hamburger patty with mustard, 2 bites of white cake, 4 baked Lay's chips. Today, breakfast 6th day. Little cup Dole peaches, dry rice Chex, 2 bites of scrambled eggs (hospital ones). Yuck. I made sure and brought my butt paste and soft TP and baby wipes so no booty burns. Haha. I feel like I can breathe again. Thanks for checking in on me. Jesus is the best!! And truly answers our prayers.

This may sound like a stupid question, but what kind of drain is that with the red output? Is that an abscess drain?
