Had surgery on Thursday

I had surgery on Thursday and came home yesterday evening. I feel way better than I expected, just sore throughout my whole body. My incisions don't hurt much unless I accidentally bump them on something. I ate a few bites of cottage cheese and some pudding last night and it went down with no problem. Still sticking to mostly fluids. My throat is a little sore from anesthesia tube but overall I feel good. Gonna attempt a hot shower shortly hoping it will help with the soreness some. So happy to be finished with the surgery part and ready to move on....

I feel much better than I expected I would. Yesterday was kind of tough with the soreness, but it already fading. I have noticed when I try to eat pudding or something close in consistency I get hiccups. I am assuming that is a sign that I've eaten too fast.

All the best. I had surgery Thursday too, and I am now t able to get 60 oz of liquid down. I do feel a little better each day, but this is tough physically and emotionally. You sound really good, that is inspiring!

Hiccups can be a soft stop signal for some people. I too had to slow down. I still have to slow down eight months out. Stop signals for some people can be: a hiccup, a sigh, a burp. The slower you go the more able you are to notice it. You're doing great!!
