First day back home

I was realeased today had my surgery on Monday.. wow. what a crazy 3 days.. am really tired and still can only sip very small amounts of water and broth.. have not even tried the protien yet.. not really sure how I am even going to get that in.. stomache swells up pretty quickly once I start sipping.. have had to put ice pack on it off and on and it burns a little where the sutures are.  I gained 5 pounds in the hospital but I assume that is due to fluids and swelling.. heartburn is also an issue.. walking helps but is slow going.. have to go back to work next tues and feeling like that may be too soon.. the liquid pain meds burn going down and take some time to kick in.. hopefully I can ease up on them because right now.. it hurts

congrats and welcome to the looser's side.  it will get better, just hang in there.

BIG dee 

Congrats on your surgery! You're on the bench! Way to go

Congratulations on your surgery. Things will get better. Just remember to sip, sip, sip. Each day will get better. If you can, try to take your pain meds before you get to hurting too bad. As they told me, stay ahead of the pain at this point.
Welcome to the losers bench!
