4 days post op. Where do I begin ?  The surgery went good, I had the NHY, gallbladder removed, and hernia repair.  Now, I am trying to organize things a bit.  Vitamins, liquids,etc. My stay in the hospital was not great.  You know, I was there 2 nights and about 2 1/2 days, some of the head nurses where nice, some were not!  Those that were not really messed things up.  I now think a person should go to a specialty hospital.  I did not check on that before I chose a surgeon.  My son went to an orthopedic hospital when he had a wreck and broke his leg, wonderful! They only did orthopedic procedures . That would be my suggestion to people looking at gastric surgery.
I have been drinking just about everything, water, Propel, jello, soup and Popsicles.  I came across a post this morning, a person was eating baked potato all so, a few days out of surgery.  Well, I thought about that.  I called DH to bring home a potato.  He baked it, warmed up some soup, then mashed up about a tablespoon of potato in the soup, added salt and pepper.  It was soooo good.  I felt I had eaten.
On of the incisions really feels like it is pulling, but I am moving easier. 
I am getting bored, I need to get out.  Friends have offered to come over, but I am ready for them yet. Oh, well.
Tomorrow will be better, today was not awful.
