Hey all my surgery went well. Been in and out of sleep. I do have a bit of pain. But not a lot of gas. I should be able to come home tomorrow!

Wow, my doctor required a 3 night stay. I am glad because I was in alot of pain after mine. I needed that morphine pump. Glad you are doing so well. Good luck and welcome to the losers bench.

My doctor has said that 95% of his patients go home the next day... I just get so amazed with the big differences I see on here between doctors!

I wil admit that I'm nervous about having such major surgery and going home very next day!

My pain has mostly subsided. Only some in my upper left abdominal area. Got some Jello and diluded apple juice Taking it super slow.

I didnt get a morphine pump. I was a little disappointed. But the nurse was really good at bringine me a dose every hour or so.

Just do as your dr & nut tell you get your water and protein in walk as much as you can you will done fine keep a journal or do myfittnesspall it really helps to keep track of everything Good Luck

Thanks! I am home now. The pillow for the Car ride home is a genius idea. Btw

I'm good. I've reduced my pain meds to night time only, I'm still having trouble getting my fluids and Protein in, but I have a new plan that I'm trying today! I'm still a little sore in one incision. but I have hope that it will get with the program soon. I haven't had any nausea, which is a godsend. I've been walking twice a day.

According to my surgeon I'm having the "dream recovery".

Sparklette how many days post op are you? I'm on day 6 and still a lot of pain on my abdomen in two spots when I walk or stand. I called the doc today And they said its from cut muscles and will take time. I just thought at 6 days out the pain would be all gone.

Glad your doing well

We had the same surgery date I think. I'm 6 days out also. I have pain at one incision, and It's not so much pain as tightness now. Just keep taking your meds, Walk, even when uncomfortable, and I actually put an ice pack wrapped in a towel on the incision and it helped a little, Then I put a heating pad, and it really helped loosen up the muscles.

Start slowly starting to stretch reach your arms over you head, Try to contract your abdominal muscles when you're laying down.

Im so ready to eat fod again, but of caourse scared as to what will happen. Who's been cheating? and what have you eaten?

I was craving tuna yesterday, I don't like tuna! I'm terrified of cheating! But I can't wait till the 9th. My family made burgers this week and I was so tempted to just nibble a little bit of meat. But I didn't.

Ive been craving a burger, I dont think we should even consider beef for a while?.?...I want something other than the liquid diet. Im torturing myself with ideas.

I'm post op day 21 and have been eating beef since the first week with no issues.
