Finally Had My Surgery!

Surgery was Tuesday May 8th around 5:30pm. I was in my room around 8pm and walking down the halls by 9:30pm. I did not use my morphine pump only when doing walks down the hall and maybe a few times when moving around. Pain was and still is very tolerable. I can honestly say I haven't been in any severe pain at all. I am 52 yrs old and was kind of worried that my age would cause me problems. The nurses were surprised and said I didn't even look or act like I just had surgery.

I was released the very next day at noon. I am on the Full Liquid Diet. Only issue I have three days post-op is constipation and was told to take some colace. I am also trying to get the 64 ozs of water down not sure why I am having timing issues so have kept a bottle by my bed at night to take sips when I wake up. I can't wait to see the weight loss and lost 30 lbs before surgery. I am not going to push my the phases through that I was given introducing soft foods and regular diet...going to take that slow. I couldn't have asked for a better surgeon, hospital and program.
