My surgery was yesterday. Doing great. I was told I had Post op nausea pretty bad by don't remember it at all. As long as I keep up in pain meds I'm great. Second day into my journey and I and walked a mile. Not too shabby. Sending positive vibes to all. I hope my journey continues on the path I've started.

I had my surgery yesterday. They were not kidding about the nausea when you wake up. Prepare yourself now. I was sick the entire 9 months with both of my kids (hyper emesis), but the nausea from the surgery makes that pale in comparison. My incisions hurt pretty badly when I have to get out of bed. But, I know this will all be worth it in the end.

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to give an update. I had my surgery Tues 12/6 and came home from the hospital yesterday. The surgeon discovered I had a large hiatal hernia once I was in the OR, which he repaired. It added about 30 minutes onto my surgical time, but I was still out of the OR in less than 2 hours, then I spent about an hour in recovery before heading up to my room.

The surgery went better than I could have hoped for. I've had no nausea, minimal gas pains that pretty much take care of themselves if I just move around a bit, and the pain was less than I had with my C-sections. I had a dilaudid pain pump and could hit the bolus button up to 3 x hour but only used it a total of about 7-8 times the first day and 4 the second. I was up in the chair the evening after surgery and sat comfortably for a few hours, then walked around the unit a few times the following day. Once I was able to start drinking, I had no trouble handling the 6 - 30 cc cups of Fluid in an hour, even though they told me it would probably take some time to work up to that amount.

Today I've been able to walk around the house a bit (with some help getting out of the recliner. lol) and have been able to tolerate some skim milk, sipping slowly of course, strained fat free cream of mushroom Soup, a sf popsicle, and have been doing good getting down my Water. I tried a few sips of a Premier shake but felt my stomach bubbling and shortly after had some diarrhea, so think I'll put the shakes on hold for a few days before attempting again.

I used some of the liquid pain medicine at bedtime last night but haven't needed any so far today. I am feeling a little sore though at the moment, so I may use some now and then take a nap. I know that I was really worried about the potential complications pre-op, so I feel really blessed that everything has went great so far and thought I'd share some positive vibes. I hope that everyone else has an easy road ahead as well.
