  1. Hi. I'm in GA. The pain has been manageable. I'm on day 4 post-op. Day 2 was the worst for me. Today I've slept a lot but tried to walk every two hours.
  2. Yesterday was awful but today is better. First day I have not cried. Lol Protein shakes are still not very good. My taste seems to be off. I have Whey 2Go Protein packs that mix with water that's kind of like crystal light.
  3. Special note...don't wait too long to take your pain medication. They give it for a reason. I'm not a pill taker and I waited too long yesterday and ended up in tears. Also buy GasX!
  4. I guess I'm doing as well as expected. Thankful that I've not been nauseous at all and able to drink with ease.
  5. Hi. Had trouble coming out of anesthesia and low BP and low Oxygen levels. I almost had to stay over but I'm home now just lots of pain.
  6. Thank you! and best wishes to you as well. @@rodflanders
