Well I have a lot to tell all of you. Surgery happened on June 4th at 12:00. They took me early because of a cancellation. I was so nervous but by the time they gave me the happy juice I didn't seem to care. When I woke up from surgery I guess I had a lot of nausea(don't remember) and some pain, but bearable. When I got back to my room all I wanted to do was sleep. Over the next couple of hours I dosed off and on, then I remembered I needed to get up and move. I walked the whole first night it seemed. I think I got about a hour of sleep due to the gas pain. So I walked. The next day was followed by more gas pain and some stomach grumbling. It is weird putting anything into this new stomach. Feels grumbly and makes lots of noise. I stayed the 2 nights only because I felt very weak and my pulse was hanging in the 40's. I went home POD#2 and I felt alright. The only issues I still have is a very sore throat and gas pain every time I lay down. I started to use the Gas-x strips and it helps a little. I think I finally got 4 hours of sleep last night. I can already feel myself getting better day by day and am excited to eat real food again soon. I am kind of sick of soup and protein shakes and crave some sort of texture. Not too long to wait now. I think my face already looks thinner and am ready for this new life to begin. Good luck to everyone.
