Yea! I did it! Had surgery Monday and feel great! Hardly would have known Tuesday that I had had surgery the previous day! Didn't think it would be so pain free. Yes I have had Advil twice a day and only had prescription med. (1/2 dose) on Monday. The only pain I have had is incisional pain. I have been kind of sluggish but went out shopping for an hour on Wed. and have been out Thurs and today. My doctor put me on all liquids this week and that has been fine also. I guess the real challenge will be Mon when I start more soft solids. Wish me luck!
