HI fellow Plicationers,

I made it through the storm (Pre Op Diet) then through the Hurricane of surgery. I was brought back to Surgery at 6:30am yesterday July 16, 2012. The nurse went over what was going to happen. I was given a shot in my belly fat which was a blood thinner, an IV was started and they gave me an antibiotic. At 7:30 I went in for surgery and 3 hours later I was waking up in post op. I had a horrible pain on my right side that was horrible. They said it was due to the way I was laying during Surgery. I was taken to a post op room and I was pretty out of it for about an hour. During that time Dr. Ponce came in and rubbed my side and said it was a muscle. I had no nausea and still have had none. I was able to drink fluids and walk around and my blood pressure and oxygen was good so they released me about 1:30pm. When I got home I went to bed but woke up every two hours to walk around and do my breathing treatments.Every 4 hours i took my nausea pill and my muscle relaxer. I had bought some Isopure and using a sippy cup finished that off. It is a liquid ready to drink and has 40 grams of protein. So that has been my routine for 24 hours. I moved from my bed to the recliner and didn't sleep as much today. I have a friend over helping me and my Husband has been helping me too. I was taking thel iquid Loratab also. I am going to stop taking the Loritab now and see if I have any actual pain. My throat was very sore and it was very hard to talk.Today I had a can of vegi broth and another Isopure and a jello. I feel okay just a little strange inside. The gas is still in my body and I am about to take some prune juice and see if that get's me to use the bathroom.

Everyone seems pleased at my progress and I hope I feel even better tomorrow. I know this is short and will pick up again tomroow. Right now everyhting seems sorta floating like. I am just trying to drink as much water I can so I am not dehydrated.

Peace folks... I will check in tomorrow!
