My surgery date was August 17, 2015. They kept me in hospital for two nights and now I'm in hotel for 3 till I fly home to Canada. First day out of hospital was Hell, the gas pains were really discouraging and I woke up last night with excruciating pain where my drain was. Today I'm doing much better. The gas comes and goes. I had some broth today and I've managed to get 1 bottle of water with crystal light down. I'm on clear fluids for 1 week and begin full fluids next Thursday. Still feeling weak after my 12 to 15 min walks around the hotel room. I'm not hungry at all but I know I need more fluids to keep me hydrated.
