Well, surgery went well. I started walking as soon as I was brought back to my room until the pain meds kicked in then I napped. Woke up for my lunch - broth, crystal light, and jello. Walked again, slept more then drank more broth and jello. Getting fluids down doesn't seem to be an issue and the only really bad pain I had was in my shoulders from left over gas from surgery. Walking has definitely helped with that! If all is still good, I'll be discharged tomorrow. Thanks for all the well wishes! So far so good! I've made it to the losers bench!

Congrats!!!

Good for you, doesn't it feel good to finally be post-op?

Congratulations!!! I am 2 weeks out and am so glad I am post-op. No complications except my main incision did get a bit infected. Got it all cleared up today and starting puréed foods tomorrow!

Enjoy the journey. Drink your Water and walk!!!
