Thanks for the well wishes everyone!!

I was prepared for the worst and it hasn't been that bad! My gallbladder was so much worse and I was prepared for it to be like that.

Got to the hospital yesterday at 9am, gowned, IV'd, signed everything, and got going. I don't remember much in the OR after moving onto the operating table. Recovery wasn't pleasant and I was sure when i came to that something had gone horribly wrong it hurt so much. Had 4 or 5 doses of morphine and something for the nausea, mouth and throat were sore and dry from the tube. Got up to my room, had more for pain and slept. Around 3 I went to x-ray for the swallow test, which made me feel sick to my stomach, but it was ok. Waited and waited for those results so I could have a drink!!! I was so thirsty... at 5:30 my doctor came in and said the test was good and I could drink and if it stayed down I could go home... so I was out of there by 630 last night!

I read someone's surgery story and they described the pain later on as feeling like they had done 1,000 crunches... and that's a perfect comparison. That's how I felt last night and so far today. Sore, pain at times, but I can get up by myself. In recovery I was at a 10, but now it's between a 4-7 depending on when I had my pain meds. It's a lot easier than I had feared it would be!

Mom took me to Walmart to get a couple of things today and I insisted on putting a bra on, it took a while, but I didn't want to end up featured on Funny Pictures at WalMart ! I was exhausted and sore after an hour out and I think I shouldn't have done so much the day after. I'll relax more tonight and tomorrow.

Last night I took too big of a sip of a Protein shake and it HURT. Instantly. Pain right into my shoulder. And it hurt for a while. So far today I've been ok with my sip sizes. I've had a pudding cup, a little Soup, Protein Shake, and a sugar free popsicle.

So far so good! So amazed it's done!

Good luck to everyone on their way, and thank you all again for your support!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
