One Day Post Op

Aug 13, 2009

Hello everyone,

I did it.  I had my surgery on 8/12 at 8;30.  It was quick and uneventful.  I was in my room within a couple of hours of having surgery and am still in the hospital.  My doctor said I should be able to go home tomorrow, but you know I am pushing to get out today.  But that may not happen.  I am in little to no pain which I think is weird but hey I am not complaining.  I had my first meal post-op.  It was GREAT!!! OK maybe I am exaggerating a bit. I didn't have anything to eat on Wednesday and was just glad to be able to taste anything.  I had chicken broth, lemon jello, and a cranberry juice/water mix.  I only had about 2 ounces of it all but it was still the best meal in the whole wide world.  What is funny is that I am not even hungry.  Doing the pre-op diet of slim fast had me hungry all the time, but now I am not even hungry.  I am glad to finally be on the other side.  Well that is all for now.  Thanks my OH family.

Shelly
