Omg!! I am not believe I am now four days post op.. I would not say my surgery was bad. I did wake up in a lot of pain but it was not from my stomach but my back. Walking after surgery was not hard I needed assistance only once. I was extremely thirsty out of surgery though. Not having anything after was the pits. Day two was awesome I had popsickles.. and I ce chips nothing else would seem to go down. I walk alot and the my nurse who was mazing was shocked. my only problem was that I could not pee after surgery and they would not let me go home until I did. I did pee on wednesday though they say it was an effect of the anesesia (sp).. I really enjoyed my handy dandy morephine pump.. It kept me mellow.. my mom said it made me free with the lips.. I cursed alot and I never curse.  Lafayette General was the best hospital though.. I had my own room and bathroom.. it was clean, I knew the names of my nurse, my cna, my meal delivery person, my housekeeper., the lead nurse, etc. The were timely and got me whatever I need.. for example a hot pack for my pack and extra blankets. i also had a friend on my floor from pre op education and it was cool. My mom got to interact with his family and I think it made he more understanding.. My first day at home was horrible I was nervous and missed the hospital because I could not get comfortable.. My sister was a doll.. lil my own little nurse so that was a plus but other than that I could not get anything in me.. no water popsickles not ever my meds.  The next day was better I was able to get a popsickles down. Today has been great I got in a 3 oz of a smootie from smootie king.. and I ate 2 popsicles all my meds and vitamin water, i also kinda cheated and sucked on 5 cheetos they were so good..lol.. I also had half a 42 gram protien shot. Over all the worst thing is gas attacks, this drainage thingy and my inability to bathe on my own. Other than that I am completely excited to see how much more I have lost.I dont have a scale at hone because I dont want to be obseesed with it. I can tell I am smaller though I bought some extra large men's t-shirts and they are kinda too big. :)
