Surgery was Monday at 8 am. Only took 1hr 20 min. dr said it went fast as all was good. Took pain Med only till Tuesday at 5 am. They took drain out and then was released Tuesday and home by 6 pm. Slept well most of night on both sides...I do not sleep well on my back......up most of today, gas is around but walking helps......not overly thirsty so hard to get all liquids in....so far did 1/2 bottle of water, 1/2 sugar free Popsicle, a few bites of jello and lots of ice chips. Not in pain but certainly tender. Everyday I hope keeps getting better. But so far it's been expected.

Sounds like you are doing very well. Keep walking as much as possible. Welcome to the losers bench

Way ta go, Champ!

Sounds like your doing great.

It does sound like you're doing great! Hope I'm as lucky!!

The first week after surgery I don't think anyone can ingest the recommended amount of liquid - but it sounds like you're doing great. As you know,by reading this forum, it gets better every day

Congrats! It really does get better with each day.
