I would think something was wrong with you if you weren't nervous and scared. I am a week out and can honestly say it isn't that bad. The anticipation leading up to it is way worse!!! Hang in there! You will be just fine!

Was your pain awful?

I'm going to be honest...I remember waking up and I felt phlem stuck in my chest...I was trying to cough it out and it was so painful...but after that the real pain that you will feel is from gas...I feel it build up from my stomach to my chest...it hurts I'm not going to lie lol...but I'm 5 days post op and I feel so much better...I still have the gas but its tolerable...one thing that you can get that helped me with the gas ate gas x strips...I was scared to use it at the hospital but the first night I spent home...I couldn't take the has pain anymore...I took two gas x strips and I felt peace lol....its gonna be hard to get your liquids down in the beginning and your Protein but every day gets better...today I had a total of 600 cal and got in 52 grams of Protein

I was reading on one of the blogs that a heating pad helps with the pain. I plan on bringing one when I go in on the 24th. Super excited and a little scared, but more excited for what the future holds for all of us.
