I made it. Surgery on Friday and out of the hospital today. Feeling mixed right now. Not hungry, not nauseous. My belly is really distended and bloated. It is making me uncomfortable at this point. Getting the liquids in is tough and getting the food down equally as difficult. Doctors and staff was incredible. You know you have the right nurses when they do a little happy dance for passing gas and a big dance (with high fives) when you actually go!

When I feel better I try to right a better description of my experience.

Here we go.

Congratulations.

For some of us getting our food and liquid requirement in initially is tough. So don't beat yourself up if you just can't do it. It gets easier as you go along.
