Yesterday went pretty well. Not only did I have the bypass but they fixed a hernia that I didn't know about. With it fixed it should help with my GERD symptoms. I only instance of nausea when I first woke up from surgery. The pain medicine is Dilaudid and it has been working well. I had nothing by mouth all day yesterday. The only thing I could do was wet my mouth a lips with water. At least it was it worked. My nurses have been great. They have been very supportive and helpful. I walked three times yesterday. I have burped and hiccuped (not so pleasant) but no passing of gas yet.Today I started on my 1 oz of water every hour. So far I have had two ounces. No side-effects. So hopefully, I can continue to progress. The goal for today is to keep pain at the minimum, progress to clear liquids, and pass gas.
So far I am on schedule to go home tomorrow.
PS. Thanks to my husband for bringing me my laptop so I can stay connected.
