Mimi, welcome home!

Hope you are healing well!

I got home tonight as well - total 4'days at a hospital. Weirdly, i dont recall the hard part - first 24 hrs, although i thought i wouldnt make it...nausea was horrendous.

now im getting excited and hopeful. Can it be - are we really on the other side now? So grateful for this forum!

I had my surgery on 10/21 and I feel good! First day I was sore and walked alot. Second day I was fine, no pain meds at all, the only problem I had was eating 4 ice chips and it made me nauseous so I just sipped room temp Water and was fine. So now Im 3 days out and I'm feeling great! Im on full liquids and not having any problems getting in my Protein and liquids!

Welcome home Kotik. I'm glad to be home, I'm really sore and sleepy. How are you getting your liquids down. I can only sip from a medicine cup every 15 minutes .

Mimi - not much different to report here ...

i am barely getting the liquids in as well - the only thing that works better - chicken broth. Somehow i can drink it w/o gagging. Idea of a Protein Shake - i bought premade Isopure alpine punch - makes me sick... Just Water is not working either. Havent tried popsicles or Jello - but i cant stand the taste of artificial sweeteners and everyone says to gonfor sugar free options.

I was trying to brave it and not take painkillers, but i was miserable all morning. Now i took one pill and im feeling fiiiine;)

Still, cant imagine going to work on monday....

What works for you today?

I'm doing the same thing, I've been awake more but it seems like I'm drinking all day long.
