Boy am I glad that is over!!!!

 Home from the hospital and seriously that experience was NO JOKE! Sleeved and getting my fluids in now...lots of inflammation that has now for the most part subsided. Jello is taking too long to pass so diet cran juice, smar****er and broth for me currently. Not taking ANY pain meds as I have Zero pain, thanking my stars for that one! Happy to be on the other side and feeling a bit more normal. Oh I only gained 2.6 lbs of fluids in hospital? I was advised to wait to weigh myself but at this point the scale is not affecting my mood, my only concern is stay hydrated and out of the hospital!!! Thank you for everyone's contributions to this site as I have been helped tremendously! Though no matter how much research and preparation I thought I did would still not have prepared me for surgery or the following day. I broke down once and only once because it really affected my body negatively. Posting my battle wound pics to my profile later.

 Congrats! So happy for you and look forward to this journey alongside you. Ur pic is beautiful! Take care of yourself! Best of luck to you. Katie

I've got a really good feeling for you.  If I was a betting woman, I'd lay down a big stack that you are going to be really successful.  Good luck, hope it's a wonderful journey for you.

Yeah.... now the fun part begins. remember the every day will get better. The first two weeks are the hardest. You will have head hunger. The first month is the toughest overall but again each day will get better.
