Well the surgery went well. I'm at home now, I've been sleeping for an hour and then walking around and then I lay back down for an hour and so on . I had a small hernia that needed repairing, so my doc fixed that. So I guess I'm a little bit more sore than I would have been without the repair. I have pain in my left shoulder which I was prepared for and of course some gas. It did not seem to effect my appetite, I'm hungry, but all I can have is liquids, I do seem to get full faster even on the liquids. The pain does not seem to be to severe so that is good. I am tired though. So I just wanted to touch base with you all. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask. I'm going to go for now. Thanks for being there you all.

Congratulations! I'm on post op day 4 I found getting up and down (bending) was the area which was painting me after the surgery. Also, I would completely recommend Gas-x! sleep propped up on pillows... I was really uncomfortable until I grabbed a pile to lay against

I was a bit hungry as well, I went 15 hours without anything before surgery so was hungry going in. The clear fluids go by quick... Full fluids are so much better lol.

I'm glad everything went so well for you!

Stephanie - congrats! I'm glad to hear that things went well Rest is the best thing right now; that, and walking to help the shoulder pain. Hopefully that won't stay with you for very long.

Keep us posted on your progression........welcome to the other side!!!

Congrats Stephanie!! So glad everything went well. Tomorrow is my surgery and I'm extremely nervous but hearing how well you're doing definitely helps. Take cre of yourself and the next time we talk I too will be on the other side.

Steph, congrats... I'm happy it went so well! Today is going to be a long agonizing day for me... Besides thinking about surgery tomorrow, I also can not take my subutex which is very hard! I will be in a very grumpy mood lol but it will all be worth it! Keep in touch! And feel better!

glad you are doing well! my surgery is tomorrow, so I will be looking forward to hearing how you are each day, since you are two days ahead of me!
