ALIVE Straight From The Hospital…Your Host :)

hahaha…you’ll have to excuse if I sound a bit “cookiee” today, I’m 100% tripped out on diladed and other pain killers right now. I thought I would give everyone an update on my surgery and recovery.

I do plan on publishing a much more in-depth experience and recovery guide later on the site, but for now I just wanted to say “wow…it’s a much harder recovery than I initially anticipated or maybe was led to believe.”

I had the surgery Friday morning, it is now Thursday and I still am waiting for the bowel to really turn on. The surgeon and his team have said that I must pass some gas before they can start getting me on a liquid diet.

So, yes, that’s right - I have now not eaten a THING or even drank WATER for a little over a week! But they have me on liquids and electrolytes through an I.V, but boy am I hungry.

Today I saw some potential good signs, so I may have good stuff to report tomorrow, but for now, I’m stll waiting and getting picked and probbed

A lot of you have sent mails in the dozens wishing me the best and I truly REALLY appreciate that, sorry if I have not had a chance to respond to everyone individually.

But, after having been through this, I think there is a lot more I can talk about in the near future to help everyone understand this type of surgery and what YOU can do to improve your health should you ever need to go through it.
