Had my surgery wednesday morning.. I came out of surgery feeling great. At night, starting feeling super nauseous, they gave me gravol and zofran. I felt so much better. Didn't need any pain meds at all. I got home this morning, a little sore but I feel just fine. My scars don't look bad and I'm already down 6 lbs since surgery. I'm not hungry at all but sipping on water with crystal light all day long.. For all of you getting surgery soon, be prepared for a rough 24 hours right after surgery but then it;s all smooth sailing from there!! Good luck!

Congrats! Welcome to the losers bench. I too had a fairly incident free recovery. I was only nauseous in the hospital but never threw up. Im 6 weeks out and havent thrown up once (knock on wood). The only time I needed my pain meds was in the morning and only for a couple of days. I eat about 2 ounces of food every couple of hours or so. I never eat to the point of being uncomfortable. I drink decaf tea pretty much all day long and can drink just like I did pre-surgery. I dont have to watch my sips any more which is good. I do take little bits though and ate with a baby spoon until I trained myself how big of bites to take. Good luck on your journey!

Also done on Wednesday felling great today except for the nasty liquid I had to drink for my leak test. Other than that it was suggested that I use a heating pad and lay on my left side and I slept like a baby. Going out now to do some walkin and some shopping.
