Well, I am finally home! Whew! I wasn't able to update in the hospital for two reasons...number one the hospital internet was not connecting, and number two I did not feel like it!

Buttttt...... I am home now!

Ok...Well, the surgery itself was a breeze. I arrived at the day surgery center at 6:30am on Thursday morning. I went right on into the surgical area and they began prepping me for surgery. They gave me a gown and began my IV. Then, my doctor talked with me a moment and the anesthesiology doctor came in to talk with me. Then the anesthesia nurse came in and began to give me some sleepy meds. Actually, I believe the sleepy med was a more relaxing med than anything else.

Then, I was rolled into the Operating Room. I was talking to the surgical nurse about adoption and BAM! I didn't remember anything else until I woke up. My throat was scratchy and tickled quite a bit. I chopped on a little ice and was then rolled into my regular room. Within literally seconds my husband and my mom were with me. I did not hurt, although I did feel a lot of pressure from gas under my breasts. I immediately felt nauseated. I was given a nausea med called Zoftin? I am not sure that is exactly how it is spelled...but it didn't do anything to help me. And the gas was almost unbearable. They gave me pain meds although I was not really in big pain...and have not been...just a little sore. However, I did spend the night in the hospital due to me living so far away...at an hour and a half from my doctor.

I was allow to come home this morning and left the hospital by 10:30am. I was stillllll so nauseous. However, I took some of my pain meds and noticed that the pain meds took away my nausea! So, since I have been home I have taking my pain meds at THE right time without fail...and I notice that when it is about time for my meds to run out, I begin to feel sick again...and my gas pains seem to return.

My gas is doing MUCH better tonight. I have belched and expelled gas A LOT! Boy! I am sooooo glad! I am beginning to feel MUCH better.

As far as eating...well...drinking, I haven't had any problems except for the fact that chicken broth will NEVER enter my house again! Just something about that broth made me even sicker! So, I was able to sip just a few drops of beef broth...not much better..but little. Since I have been home, my husband brought me some ice pops and some juice. I noticed that I cannot eat anything that is salty or too sweet...Huh! Anyway, those ice pops and that juice is keeping me going for now. I am going to attempt some coffee in the morning....doc said it was cheating a little, but if I could tolerated it...then go for it!

Well, that is all I have for now...I am going to go and get some more medicine! Night all! And thank you guys for praying for me!

First of all congrats!!! hope you feel better soon =) I'm mexican so after beef and chcken broth were not cuttin it I resorted to Bean broth lol!! try it!! its good and it has alot and I do mean alot of iron. I persoanlly to all of my broths I put a piece of jalapeno made them get spicy and then pull it out =) or get those maruchan noodles cook whatever flavor you like and just drink the broth put some lime

Wish I would have thought of that! I craved Taco Bell pintos n' cheese so bad!

Congratulations. If you are taking pain meds to control the nausia, I would try to find something else. You might also want to start in on a stool softener. Pain meds and surgery get you all bunged up and that in itself can become a bit problem that you don't want to have.

Take care of yourself.

You know whats funny? I have always liked spicy food cause well that just normal for us Mexicans right.. but out of all my family I 'm the one that eats less spicy food or so I been told by my family members, but since the surgery I crave spicy

anything all the time. I really don't know why lol!!!

Congratulations. Walk helps alleviate the gas and SIP plenty of water.

I am so happy for you!!! Hoping once your able to move around more the gas will subside.
