Congrats!

I was lucky - only took half dose of that liquid Vicodin first day and half. It gets better!

Congratulations !! Welcome to the other side ! Glad to hear that all is well. As far a pain meds go, I think they were disgusting too !! If I remember right I took liquid Tylenol if needed after the 2nd day. I don't remember being in alot of pain, just really sore on the left side. Hopefully as you rest and walk for the next few days you'll feel better. Stay strong ! You got this !!

Congrats on your big step! It may be a rough week so keep your chin up and know it DOES get better!

Thank you all for the kind words of encouragement, they also has to repair a hernia, so I don't know if that is adding to the pain, but overall I feel good, I'm starting to feel hungry, but know better then to eat anything solid lol

Feeling hunger is a good sign. It lets you know the anesthesia is pretty much out of your system and liquids should no longer make you queezy
