I am home and I'm a LOSER!

Well, I'm home, now. Feeling pretty good - haven't taken anything for pain at all! I'm having the dilaudid prescription filled for use at night. Lying flat in my bed is a little painful!

Also - had small, runny stool and passing gas - too early??

I was terrified to eat today! Not sure how much, etc! Just working on sipping and walking and sleeping when I need it!

Thanks for all the well wishes, it's great to be on the loser's bench with all you wonderful people!

Whoooohoooo! Welcome home!
I passed gas but no BM for about 4-5 days can't remember. I too was scared to eat the first day but that will go away.

Congratulations on a successful surgery!

Welcome home. Take things day by day and listen to your body. You will be amazed at the transformation that your body goes through. Drink plenty of water, have protein shakes if your nervous about eating. BM will come shortly, just remember that you haven't eaten a whole hell of a lot to actually "poop" out.

Keep us posted of your progress.
