Day 1 post op

I have been home from the hospital for 4 hours. I'm going to hopefully get some sleep tonight since they sure don't let you get any sleep at the hospital. I'm so glad to be on my way to being a healthy me.

Congratulations!  Welcome to the loser's bench. Hang on to your soon to be baggy pants and enjoy the ride!!!  

Thanks! Right now the pain of trying to sip water is taking all of my effort. I am exhausted but determine.

I had my surgery on the 20th and you are so right about getting sleep. My nurses and techs checked on me every hour. They were very polite and kind but I just wanted to sleep. LOL.

I hope your recovery is easy.

We had our surgery on the same day. I hope your recovery is easy also. So far I'm sipping and trying to walk around in my house to relieve the gas pain. I have had the hiccups some put haven't passed any flatulence. Lol.          Beverly

I have not had hiccups yet and have passed some gas so far. 

Been sipping on water and and have had a protein shake.

Right now I am in recliner and have a heating pad on my belly. It does seem to be helping some.

My favorite thing so far was taking a shower and washing my hair.

Lol takes very little to make me happy right now 

I'm going to give the heating pad a try. So far I'm ok. I have found that liquids at room temperature cause less pain. I'm so glad to not be having any hunger issues. 

Welcome to the loser's bench!
