Had Surgery Yesterday!

Still in hospital, no pain just discomfort from the drain and drip but other than that all good. Hope to go home tomorrow, drinking well. Very dry mouth though. Good luck to all those waiting.

Sounds like you are doing wonderful!! Day 2 was the hard day for me. Great job on the drinking well, that is always the toughest part! Welcome to the Loser's Bench :)

Sleeved yesterday myself up and walk no problem none of the insions hurt. but when I drink anything it hurts like crazy hope that goes away soon morphine is just knocking the edge off not really stopping it. I'm glad your doing good though. Good luck.

Day 2 was the hardest for me. By day 3, I felt human again and it's gotten better each day since.

Congratulations Emma!! Good news to hear.. I'm happy for you and I have read on here that walking is the best way to recover faster...speedy recovery...

Thanks for all the good wishes. feeling great, I'm on the liquid diet, takes me a long time to drink the optifast. Someone on here gave the advice of Biotene, for dry mouth. Fantastic, wish I'd taken it to hospital. Love being home can rest and walk around the park in the evening. 8 kg or 17.6 lb loss so far, worlds looking like a brighter place. ????

Hope you feel better soon, having a little gas problem myself. Though I'm going to try the other suggestion of gas X strips. Hope it helps :)
