First day post op

Today is the first day of the rest of my life. I was sleeved yesterday at noon. Last night was tough. So thirsty. Thank goodness I read about Chapstick on the pre-surgery forum and brought mine with me. Absolute lifesaver.

 

Surgery went well. Pain meds in IV drip help a lot. Burping and dry heaving not fun. Walking definitely helps. My gas is in my back and shoulders. Can't wait to go home tomorrow and use my heating pad around my shoulders.

 

Taste buds shot for now. Just smelling the beef broth they brought for dinner made me sick. I love sugar free Popsicles but right now they taste too sweet. Sticking with water the rest of the day. IV keeps me hydrated anyway.

 

Going home tomorrow. Can't wait.

Hi. Glad things went well for you and thanks sooo much for posting. I can't get enough of reading everyones post op experiences. It helps so much. Two more weeks and I'll be a post op poster, too. Hopefully helping someone else. :) Hope your taste buds are cooperating now. Thanks for the chapstick reminder.
