Surgery was yesterday. Day 1 is HARD.

First of all, i'd like to say that I do not regret my decision. I am not at all tempted to "cheat" on my post-op diet. I did not go through all of this to mess it up.

With that being said, I'd like to say that I am having a REALLY hard time with day 1 post-op. I hurt SO bad... I am SO hungry... the trapped air is killing me... and I can't stop crying. I know it gets better... I WILL hang in there... but that doesnt make today any easier...

Thanks for posting your true experience. Sometimes people hold back on bad things because they want to scare people, but people need to know sometimes not everything is a bed or roses.

I truly hope get better from here. My 1st day was rough as well. Not as bad as yours, but I had nausea and before my hubby could get my meds I was heaving. No more after the first day but it was scary!

Everyday will be just a little easier!
