I am now 4 days post op!!

[Grateful Heart 7]

So my surgery was on 2/5. Everything went according to plan. I did have a pretty good size hiatal hernia that my surgeon repaired. I have to be honest - the anethesia made me very sick for about 18 hours. Dry heaved a lot. Sorry if that freaks anybody out, but I have to say I knew it was coming. Every time I have had anesthesia in my life it has made me sick. But that is all behind me now. I spent 2 nights in the hospital. Came home on Sunday in time to watch the Superbowl. Wow what a game. I have not had any pain to speak of. Just really tired. Up a while and then a nap:)

I am on a clear liquid diet - 1 oz every 1/2 hour. I have had no trouble at all drinking the 1 oz. Sometimes I am so thirsty I would like to drink a lot more, but know better. I am taking most of my prescriptions as before surgery. I just cut the pills in half. I haven't had any trouble getting the pills down. I'll post again in a day or two.:001_tongue:
