Surgery was at 0800 this morning. Slept off some of the anesthesia and feel pretty damn good. I've been up walking around and have neither incision pain nor has pain. Do feel sleepy agin though, maybe time for another nap

Valarie...good to hear your doing well....One day at a time..

To the rest of our life. It's gonna be an awesome journey. I had surgery 8am last thursday...I don't even feel like anything was done except I can not sleep on stomach.

Good luck...I'm ready to see number on scales go down down down!!

Congrats on the start of your new healthy life! Glad to hear things are off to a great start!!!

Congrats.

Congrats! Take it easy and rest when your feeling the need.

Yippee! So happy for you!

Finally feeling a little more awake. Still no pain, couple oz's of ice chips. I really want a Popsicle but only because my mouth and throat are dry, not because I'm hungry. So happy I stuck out the preop diet. Days 1&2 are clear liquid, I can't wait for full liquid. Thanks for all the well wishes everyone. Feels good to be on the other side

Yay!!!! Welcome to the family

Try brushing your teeth. I don't know why bit for some reason that helps a whole lot.

Just reporting in, I was expecting tons of gas pain, but so far none. When I asked my sugeon about it he said you shouldn't have any because i got most of it out during surgery. I can advance to full liquids today, but it's very hard as im not hungry at all. Yes I know its necessary to make sure I get all my protein in so I think I'll attempt a protein shake in a little bit. Im just amazed right now. I tried to get chicken broth down last night and could only do a couple of spoonfuls before I was full. I never needed anything for pain so no constipation for me. All systems are working fine. Picture perfect surgery and recovery so far. Hope everyone else has such an easy time. Thanks for all the support.

yay! congrats!!!
