Thank you all for the advice and words of encouragement. Ten hours post-op and I am ready for a good nights sleep. I feel very tired, but comfortable. No shoulder pain whatsoever. I'm gonna try drinking a Protein shake for Breakfast.

Today was the big day. The entire surgery stay was about 4 hours. I woke up with a massive headache, sore throat, cotton mouth, and very bloated feeling.
It has been about 6 hours since being discharged and I have been sipping cool Water and had my first dose of pain meds. I feel a little more comfortable, but still thirsty and my head still hurts a bit. Kind of a "hang over" headache.
I feels a bit surreal, but I know I made the best decision and can't wait to feel ten years younger.
I took a week off from work and plan to relax and let this all sink in. Good luck to all and God Bless.

Started the shakes a week ago and have lost 7 lbs. Met my surgeon yesterday and all clear for surgery next Wednesday April 4th. Ready!
