I had my surgery on Monday and the surgeon said it went well. Surgery lasted 4 hours not sure if that is normal or not. I was overwhelmingly nauceaus it was almost unbearable.
(TMI-) I still haven't had a BM yet, although I started benefibre and baby food pears yeasterday. I fell bloated and am having horrible sleeps.
I cooked dinner for the family yesterday and was very happy to feel functional, however my energy level is sooooo low.  I get hot flashes and cold sweats and am dizzy at times of the day.
I have had many thoughts of "what the hell have I done to myself" but I hope all is well.
Every ache and pain I wonder if it is normal.
So I am taking everyday one day at a time...here's hoping for the future!~!

Glad to hear it went so well and your home.  It will get better as the days pass and you'll be saying why didn't I do this sooner. 
Make sure you get some rest!  Looking forward to hearing your journey!!
