I'm officially a Bandster!

Ok, this is my first post since my operation. I think all in all it wasn't that bad. I was at an outpatient surgery center which was ok, but I def. felt like I was being rushed out. I was fine when I got home, but the anesthesia made me want to just curl up and stay there. The weird thing I remember is that the nurse tried to get me to drink ginger ale when I was coming out of it. Everything I have read said "NO CARBONATION!". Thank God that was drilled in my mind or I would have been in a load of pain on top of what I was dealing with.
Having had a c-section, this honestly was not anywhere near as painful. I just don't remember any of the severe gas pains you get in the shoulders that I am dealing with now. I learned the hard way that you HAVE to stay hydrated - lots of water or ice. I slacked and ended up nauseaus and throwing up. Not fun. But, after spending a full day drinking something every hour, I feel much better.
I am going to go lie down now and get a heating pad on this stinkin' shoulder of mine. Gas is not your friend.
But, I can't wait to see the scale tomorrow!
