[Suzanne5000]

hey all

been on liquids now 4 days its definantly getting easier...pain as subsided alot (still trapped wind in shoulder) so much better!

and today it seemed i could eat alot more soup/water and i didnt get full...does this mean that the swelling going down? or do i expect to be sick later?

how much shouldi be having through the day?? help!!

it just means your getting better and the swelling is going down this is completley normal, just stick to the liquids for now. how long does your surgeon recommend you to stay on liquids.

maybe try a thicker smooth soup for now x

It is normal during the liquid phase to be able to eat more each day, just means you are healing up nicely. If you are using soups you can add cheese to them or a tiny bit of instant mash to make it 'thicker' for a fuller feeling. Just keep those fluids going in hun, sounds like you are doing really well!

Wow Nic ,well done you should be so proud of yourself,my personal goal is to get in a pair jeans and if i looked as good as you, i would be so proud.
I agree with Gaynor your weight loss makes you look so much younger,(not like u looked old to start with lol).

Keep up the good work,because whatever your doing the results are there to be seen.
