Surgery yesterday. Feel pretty sore.

Yesterday (Tuesday) was my surgery. After surgery, I had trouble swollowing and the doctor got some of the band fluid out - AUCH - long needle - but strangely it didnt hurt - all that much.   I made it thru the first night and at breakfast I had everything from the short liquid diet menu. Pain started shortly after that. This time it is worse than the pain before doctor got some of the fluid out of the band.   I came home today. Am hungry but any linquid i swollow hurts.
