So my surgery was on 2/5. Everything went according to plan. I did have a pretty good size hiatal hernia that my surgeon repaired. I have to be honest - the anethesia made me very sick for about 18 hours. Dry heaved a lot. Sorry if that freaks anybody out, but I have to say I knew it was coming. Every time I have had anesthesia in my life it has made me sick. But that is all behind me now. I spent 2 nights in the hospital. Came home on Sunday in time to watch the Superbowl. Wow what a game. I have not had any pain to speak of. Just really tired. Up a while and then a nap:)

I am on a clear liquid diet - 1 oz every 1/2 hour. I have had no trouble at all drinking the 1 oz. Sometimes I am so thirsty I would like to drink a lot more, but know better. I am taking most of my prescriptions as before surgery. I just cut the pills in half. I haven't had any trouble getting the pills down. I'll post again in a day or two.:001_tongue:

Glad to hear all went well with you! Your surgery sounds like a success. . . now just keep up with the sipping and walking. . in no time you'll be as thin as a rail! hehehe. . . good luck and godspeed

A big hearty welcome to the "losers bench". Congrats on being brave and getting er done.

Grateful, I'm so happy that you're on the other side of surgery! Feel better and post when you can.

Congrats on the surgery, yesterday was two weeks post-op for me.

Glad to here you are doing fine.

I'm so glad!! I'm just a day before you. I couldn't imagine swallowing even half a pill. I use a pill crusher and thank goodness for it:) Welcome to loserville...

Congrats on your surgery and your awesome recovery. I can also take my pills without having to crush (2 I do split).
