Hey Everyone!! Its been 3 days since surgery........Monday day of surgery I arrived to the hospital at 6:30 didn't go back into pre-op until almost 8:30 once back there everything went super fast. I changed into the gown and got my IV's started, they hooked me up to the heart machine and obviously my heart was racing. So they gave me some medicine to calm me down and from there I was quite out of it I remember my parents and grandparents coming back and seeing me for a few minutes and then being wheeled off to the OR...they had me move over to the surgical table and put an oxygen mask on me....and then I woke up!! I was so disoriented and didn't understand where the hell I was and I felt like everyone was yelling at me to wake up lol!! I was in so much pain from the gas they blow you up with and all of the smells were making me sick to my stomach!! I am home now and everything is getting better a little at a time I am trying to eat but it just is so hard right now I have been really sleepy so I have been sleeping more than awake as of right now.

Sip and walk, sip and walk!!! Congrats on your succesful surgery and good luck with your recovery. Take it easy, have some gas-x strips handy, and drink as much as you can :-)

Congratulations!!!!

Please...if you only remember one thing, remember this.. your body is in healing phase, listen to your body....sleep when you need to, eat only when you are hungry....dont push yourself, you are in the healing phase.

Too many people try to eat, eat, eat - worried about getting protien in, etc.. and your tummy just isnt ready, your mind has to adjust to what your tummy just went through. Drink liquids and rest that is my best advise...

Good Luck
