So today is the morning after surgery. Had hernia repair also. I am patiently waiting for the surgeon to show up to tell me I can go home. Everything went very well. My only problem was/is the gas pain between the shoulder blades. Not too fun! As someone else said, my stomach just feels like I have done too many sit-ups. I have had 2 c-sections and this was a breeze compared to those!

I ate two popscicles last night and about 4 oz. of water ( over an 8 hour period!) This morning for breakfast I had chicken broth, jello and a lemon icee cup. About two bites or sips of each and that was all. I have not had any trouble thus far with different temperatures of the liquids. No nausea at all.

The swallow test was awful,as everyone has said. The guy told me it was going to taste like Dawn dish soap and kerosene. That was pretty accurate!! ugh.

My sleeve looked to me like a shallow bowl, instead of a banana! I am hoping it is tight! I willl ask for a pix. of it.

Thanks for all the well-wishes. Now I just have to get my head around all these changes and not develop a leak!!

I won't lie - it does taste NASTY - but your mouth is so dry, you'll be happy to know that after you can drink! (and it's only two little sips!)
