Good relative ?

I was out of surgery about 8 hours ago and have been feeling relatively well. My pain from gas is actually in my shoulder and neck. Very little in my abdomen so far - or the pain meds are covering any pain there. Surprisingly, the doctors took care of a small hernia in my esophagus too - I’ll find out more tomorrow or when the notes upload to my E chart. So far I have been able to consume 6oz each of veg broth, beef broth, water, and protein water. Trying the jello now, verrry slowly - now I understand being able to eat only very little bites of something that is two ounces.

Just had a friend reach out to me asking for an update on my upcoming surgery and then the irrigation began where I felt like I was fighting for my life trying to prove myself. I just don't get it.... "I just wouldn't want you to go through this and you don't make the changes and fail and have to live with that guilt" she said to me... I'm like...if I fail at this at least I tried and at that point maybe I was meant to be obese lol.

Hey, all. Surgery went well yesterday. My surgery sight isn't very painful, but the gas is. I'm still recovering in the ICU. They have me here because of getting an RNY and I'm on cpap. The staff has been great. I didn't sleep well last night. Too many beeps, leg compression device, and discomfort. But better than yesterday.

I'm new here. My surgery day is May 25th and I start pre-op diet May 11th....I'm ready to get into it; though I'm scared.
