Well, its 4 days post op and I have to admit I had a pretty good experience with surgery. Not much pain other than gas discomfort and I went kinda crazy the second day in the hospital and couldn't get comfortable but on today I had a sort of emotional break down. Please see the attached link...

Hang in there - it gets better!! You will likely be able to tolerate your favorite foods; it's just that you will only eat small amounts of them - and the best thing is, you'll be all right with that!

Not every doctor uses them. Part of the reason I chose mine is because he did. It's a tube attached to a plastic bulb that they put in during surgery. It allows drainage material, blood and stuff to drain from the body to the outside bulb through the tubing. If you watch the video referenced above you can see one. In the hospital they empty it periodically.

Mine was removed before I left the hospital, but some are sent home with it, and it will be removed later. For me personally, I just wanted any drainage to be outside as opposed to inside.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
