I had my surgery done robotically on July 28 & my only issue in the hospital was the anesthesia. I got up the next morning & walked my laps around the floor. I sipped my water & that night they added crystal lite, was good. Next morning I had a protein shake, drank it in about an hour & went home @ 11 that morning. I took a Tylenol 2 days later, other than that I took no pain meds. I'm on stage 4 now, mashing up my food isn't so bad. It's just amazing how full you get so fast on so little. I made the mistake tonight of eating a bite too much of my egg salad......feel uncomfortable now. I really didn't know what to expect & it surely is not taking the easy way out, but I'm glad I did it. I do no regret it & I think I had it easy. I hope others had/have the same experience.

Glad to hear you are doing so well!! I hope when I have my surgery in a couple of weeks I do as well.

Take care,

Carol
