Hi there. To tell the truth, it doesn't sound too bad. You have to get up and walk around in the hospital, you go to the bathroom yourself (no catheter) and you are drinking clear fluids from day one. My doctor has me on full fluids for one week (the first few days are clear fluids only), then two weeks of mushies, which even includes pasta. (I'm dying for pasta). I get sent home with a contraption attached to me that delivers pain medicine to my abdomen for the first few days. I plan on taking as much pain meds as they will let me. I don't believe in feeling pain. I'm a wimp. So, tomorrow at 6:00 am. I'm up. Why so freakin early? Just mess with me. Good luck to you!
