Hi everyone. Ok had surgery 2/19. Everything went great. I took my pain & nausea meds as timed. I never had any pain never threw up nothing. At most it was discomfort like when your gallbladder is taken out. You do go to the bathroom a lot. Day 1 surgery from 1130-130 wake in my room at 4pm had to go to bathroom then got up to walk. I walked everytime I went to rr. Day 2 got up took a shower did hair &makeup wanted to feel like me. A shower works wonders. Now able to drink water 6- 1oz cups an hour It can be done. Can eat jello and walk. Day 3 up at 530 showered dressed and ready for doc at 730 he said everything looks good I can go home after lunch. Stuck with pain meds schedule napped @w2pm came home. Tooks meds and went to sleep. Mom brought home made chicken soup broth. It's the best. Had 8-9 oz took meds after family left went to sleep. Today is day 4 woke up at 730 had some water drinks, came down stairs made a protein shake drank it. Went up stairs showered , hair , makeup. Cleaned the upstairs, now having some soup then a walk outside, I will take a 1/2 dose of liquid pain med and nap. I'm home alone, I hate it, if I could drive I would go to work.

Oh take chap stick. Your lips get very dry. Oh I experienced a lot of flem. That chokes me, I hate that part. They will give you a band wear it it make you feel me put together. Before surgery 194, leaving hosp 184 today 182

Did you have your surgery done in the great state of Texas? If so where - I am in the dfw area!

My surgery was 2/19 as well. I am in Oklahoma. No issues so far. I forget to take small sips of water, but no real issues with that either. I can get in the water, but working on 85 grams of protein. We are supposed to get a large snow storm today. I keep walking around the house. Good luck!
