    Hi everyone,
    I was sleeved yesterday morning and came home from the hospital today. Just wanted to share my story
    First, I have to admit it's not nearly as rough as I expected. Of course it's still early but I hope things keep running this smoothly. I expected more pain and nausea to be honest. Nausea controlled well with dissovable Zofran. I do have lots of gurgles though and was so happy when I was able to burp LOL. I've had the hiccups twice. Not fun. Pain controlled well. Was on a morphine drip in the hospital since dilaudid gives me itchies, but apparently morphine does too. I've clawed marks all over my body. When I passed my leak test this morning, they brought me crystal light and chicken broth. After 2 tablespoons I felt like I was going to burst! So full. Switched to liquid vicodin for pain, drain removed, and home I went.
    So far I've drank 1/4 of a Protein shake, which I find tastes funny and makes my mouth slimy, a few sips of Water, and right now I'm drinking some broth. Been home for about 4 hours and I've slept for 2.
    So hopefully this will help my fellow 2/6ers and those still pre-op. Also gives me a reason to sit up for a while at the computer
    Thanks for all of the support! Together, we can do this!!!
