I had surgery on 5 May, 2006 and I am amazed that I have not had one headache, have been wide awake during the day and other than feeling very bloated and some port site pain, I feel really good. I know I am not taking in all I should be, but this bloat is making it difficult for me to "eat". I begin each day with a product called Tropical Oasis Multi-Vitamin Mineral. I purchased it at Whole Foods for $29.95 a bottle, which is a 30 day supply. It is a liquid supplement and is actually quite tasty. If you cannot find it in your local market, their web site is

I have also been steering clear of things like Gatorade as there is way too much sodium and sugar in the product. I have been sticking to clear chicken, beef and vegetable broth, Sugar Free Jello, an occasional Popsicle and a bottle of Vitamin Water a day. The Vitamin Water is not sugary, has extra vitamins and is clear. I should probably have more broth for the protein, but again, the bloating makes it difficult. On Friday, I am looking forward to Cream of Wheat and a soft boiled egg. Truly!
