Just got home from the hospital and so far no pain. well maybe a little gas pain in lower abdomen but that is is today. I already made by follow up visit with the surgeon for Monday to have the drain removed. From what I have read on this web site it gets better everyday. I will be excited when I can say I am 2-3 weeks post op. Always thinking ahead.

Thanks for writing and I am glad to have someone to share the day with also.

Sounds like you are doing pretty well now. Congratulations to you and good luck.

For the ticker go to tickerfactory.com and design your ruler and marker after you are done you can cut and past the URL info into your signature in this site and it will show. You will have to keep updating the tickerfactory.com web site with you loss info for it to change.

I have been very fortunate to not have had any nausea so far. I took a pill before my surgery that the md had prescribed to keep the nausea at bay following surgery and I have a script for Zophran that I take before taking the liquid pain med so it doesn't make me sick.

I'm actually sipping on my first Protein shake today and it's going down well. I can definitely tell if I sip too much lol doesn't hurt, just uncomfortable.

Thank you Patti! I'll get a ticker set up later. Good luck to you as well....I think we're gonna be just fine

Yes, I felt that tenderness in my lower abdomen, but as you said, only when I got up or sat down. I think everyone has that. I don't think it is anything to be concerned about, but it is good that you called. Always better to be safe than sorry. Good luck on your new journey! I'm sure we will continue to cross paths as we go through this together!

BTW...I don't have that tenderness anymore!
