I'm on the losing side now

Thanks for everyone's posts recently. There are so many nay-sayers for us that having support to go through with my surgery was great. My surgery was on Friday and things went well -- much longer than Robin's surgery - more like 3 hours. There were no real complications but some scar tissue slowed the surgery. I came home yesterday and all in all feel pretty good. No nausea yet --- scared of that -- but taking it easy. Figuring out medications and protein drinks and getting enough fluids is pretty daunting but I am sure that will come more easily as the days pass. Once, again - thanks for all of the support. Need to go out and take a walk.

I am so happy to hear that all went well for you. I hope you find things to get easier as the days go by.

Yayyyyy, Julia! I am so glad that things went well for you and that you are feeling pretty good! Remember to get plenty of rest too! I'm cheerin' for ya! Good luck! Hugs, Robin

You did it!! Congratulations! Not all of us got nausea - I never - so don't let that thought obsess you. Give yourself time to get into your new ways of eating and drinking. And get plenty rest and fluid right now - remember walk walk walk and sip sip sip! Jackie

Julia, Welcome Home!! And congratulations on your surgery...what a wonderful start to your new life. Like everyone says - just take it one day at a time and follow the doctor's guidelines - and before you know it you'll be posting your success! I'm so happy for your smooth surgery and wish you all the best during your recovery. Enjoy the beautiful weather - go roaming with your water bottle! Hugs, Chele
