I am now 8 days post opp. and doing wonderful!! I have no hunger feelings just following the diet and drinking lots of liquids. I haven't taken the pain med for 2 days now, it seems it keeps me awake instead of sleepy. My incision doesn't hurt as much as my back, from previous problems. I was lucky with my incision: 1st no drain tube, 2nd no stitches or staples, I'm glued together & terry strips that will come off in a few days. So I figure that has something to do with my lack of pain. I'm one who liked to drink lots of good cold water, so I feel thirsty. My hospital stay was so so. Sioux Valley really could use more nursing staff. After 1st day I had to do "everything" on my own, or had to sit nude for 25 minutes for help getting a gown back on following a shower. But Dr. was great and said everything looked good for me. Oh, I'm down 15 pounds.
