Surgery Was Today, 6/8!

Oh WOW am I ever glad this morning is over! For all that led me here, and for my team of doctors, and my amazing surgeion and most of all, for my husband and friends, I am EVER grateful! Surgery was completely uneventful, I was home by 12:30 and have managed the pain very well all day. In fact, I've had viruses that made me feel worse than I've felt all afternoon! It's awesome, I really expected the pain and discomfort to be worse. No problems with gas yet, but I have been up and around quite a bit. Pain meds make me super sleepy, so that's the only time I've really been down is to sleep a few hours here and there.

 

I'm FINALLY on the recovery side, and I am so excited!!! :D Today's the last clear liquid day and tomorrow I get full liquids. I've never looked so forward to tomato soup in my whole life, but it sounds delicious right now.

 

Great things are in store for me - thanks to everyone for your support here. I'm going to have a million questions, so be ready!

Congratulations! I've very excited for you and glad that the surgery was uneventful :) I can't wait to read up on your progress and I'll probably be reaching out to you since you're about two weeks ahead of me. I'm thrilled for your tomato soup tomorrow and you're right, it does sound good!

Well, the day after surgery isn't too bad! I have really only discomfort which feels like I did way too many ab crunches, :) and no nausea at all. Just a tiny bit of gas build up but seems like it's subsiding quickly. I've been watering flowers, doing dishes, doing laundry and have been pretty active which I think helps with the gas. I SO appreciate all of you commenting! I will give you any info you'd like, just ask, and over the next few days I'll keep commenting and keeping you informed. Have a great day everyone!

Day 3 post-op - I woke up feeling so much better this morning. Got all the bodily functions working again (ahem, if you know what I mean) and what a huge difference that made in how I feel - (oversharing? Sorry!) Learning to sip slowly. Haven't been hungry once, but am making sure to get my protein in each day to assist with the healing process. Hey Bikiniby30 - I'd be happy to be your band guide! You only have a couple weeks to go - let me know how I can help! :) You're going to do wonderfully. Have a beautiful day everyone! Hugs -

Any changes in your energy level Dliteful? Anyone out there, did you receive a gas blow up in yout stomach area for the procedure? They do it for easier maneuvering sometimes? Just wondering about it.

Glad you are doing so well. It is reassuring. I have a consultation on the 22nd. It is a 4-5 hour appointment so hopefully I will have a much better idea of my situation. One of my concerns is how long I will be off work. I hope everything keeps going so well. Enjoy your soup!
