You 2 look so much better than I feel!!! I've had more pain and discomfort since I've been home. I can't even handle broth at this point. Only watered down juice, room temp. Here's a pic of my belly on day 2 post op. The drain is by far the worst thing ever. It's all covered up with the bandage but I have to pretty much carry the bulb thing around or it pulls at the site. Cannot freaking wait until Monday to get it out!

@@amylynns Have you tried pinning the tab to the inside of your clothes with a safety pin

My bulb from the drain has a safety pin to another piece of tape. It makes it so much more comfortable. I hope the pic makes sense to you. Hopefully you'll be feeling better really soon.

You made it through. I am so glad you are not in pain. Reading everyone's posts it's quite a mixed bag. But at this point you probably have the pump, which I understand is wonderful.

Layknee,

Yeah, I have the pin on it, but only pinned it to my gown at the hospital. I could do that now too I suppose. I just want the damn thing out.

Yep, that's exactly what mine looks like.

Tomorrow I start my 3 days of Clear liquids. Let's hope I have enough will power to make it. I have set up a command center. I actually moved out of my bedroom for several reasons.

1. I want to be in the main floor not upstairs

2. My husband arrived today from a business trip to Asia and I cannot get sick at this point. He is going to be so jet legged and up at all hours. I can't handle that right now. I tiered and cranky, I eat - NOOOOO

3. I am expecting to be in some pain and up at all hours when I get back home. I don't want to keep him up all night.

The Den it is. I must say it is very cozy: queen bed, recliner, arm chair, sofa, shelf with all my drink/food items, giant tv, laptop, music, books and last but not least 8 pillows. I really like my new room

@@Beni it sounds like you have a great set up. The recliner has been a huge part of my recovery. You can do it. You have encouraged us along the way and we are all here for you!!

I wish I had a recliner, would have helped. Though today did nap, laying down, not propped up by pillows and even managed to sleep on my side for a bit.

I've slept in my bed the last 2-3 nights. It has been nice. Still a little weird laying on my sides but not too bad. @"Beni"@ your new room sounds Cozy. Now all we need is your before pic so we could put a face to you!
