My surgeon had a superman tee shirt underneath his scrubs this morning. That's the last thing I remember. How awesome is that?

So' date=' I am starving!! My nurse says its probably thirst, but I assured her you don't get to be my size without being familiar hunger(-;

I am so pleased with how I've been treated. They gave me some awesome lip moisturizer. I brought all kinds of stuff, but no need. They have these little sponges for me to suck on. Perfect little sips.

Did I mention that IM STARVING??? The gas pains are the only issues. Behind my chest and ribs. DID I MENTION MY STOMACH IS BBQing MY RIBS??

I hope all of you pre-opers have as easy as an experience day of surgery as I did. I might have already mentioned that I'm STARVING![/quote']

That's legit! I was wondering if eating the sponges would b a bad thing??? Guess ill find out tomorrow . I'm glad u r doing well thank u for sharing it has put me more at ease.

I recant my compliments. Can you believe they wouldn't give me bacon and eggs in my IV?

So I am spitting up blood. I want to burp so bad, it hurts. But when I do, this rancid tasting phlegmish stuff comes up. Sorry if that's gross.

Congrats! My hospital my gave a bunch of 1 oz cups and I was to drink 1 every 15 min. That way you don't drink too much. Now that I'm home I can drink one every 10 min. Drinking a Protein drink right now. Woke up at 5 and can't go back to sleep. I can't have more pain meds till 8 but I'm doing ok without it right now. So happy for you!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
