Hi Melissa: Glad to hear that you are home and doing well. I will keep you in my prayers for your quick recovery and relief from those crampy, painful feelings. Take care of yourself and try your best to get in the water and protein. I found that I had no problem by day four getting in my 4 packets of protein. I almost felt normal by day 5-6! Did you have surgery lap? Didn't know since you had adhesions. Take care and walk when you can. Also, if you had lap, try stretching a little side to side with arms overhead, it really helps with the gas they blow your belly up with, even more than walking! Pam
