Realized I took my last pre-surgery shower and didn’t say a proper goodbye to my boobies! My sweet, full, bouncy, ever faithful boobies...from what I hear, they’ll be almost unrecognizable in the coming months [emoji14] RIP lovelies HELLO waistline [emoji44][emoji44]

See y’all on Thursday!!!

Thanks all [emoji8] so far the pain is minimal and all they have me on is a Tylenol ES drip. One of the nurses did say the third day is when the pain gets tough, here’s hoping I get something a tad stronger sent home with me. I had my gall bladder taken out exactly one year ago at the same hospital and the experience was stellar- the nurses were amazing and everything just went right. This time? Not so much. A couple of the nurses are snobs. Thank Goddess for shift changes. And so happy I didn’t forget my headphones- I have a faulty drip machine whose alarm is going off constantly and a roommate that makes sex noises as she snores!!! lol seriously!!! I wanna go home...

Fast recovery!!! And congrats!

I'm glad it's over for you. As for the snobby nurse, that's on her. Welcome to your new life!

This made my day! My drip machine is wacko too got no sleep and the temperpeatic bed is a joke, freaking goes up in the. Middle and down on the head. [emoji19]oh well least I've. farted a-lot of that painful gas out

Happy you made it to surgery day. Good luck with the recovery. You will do great. Stay hydrated.

I finally farted!!! Farts are great, aren’t they [emoji90][emoji90] how the heck am I gonna have a BM tho? It hurts to bear down and push something out.....on a liquid diet? Seriously?

Hang in there -- I am watching your posts to see how it goes!!

Spent one night, pretty uneventful surgery and, so far, the recovery is pretty much textbook. Not much pain, lots of gas bloat still, upper part of my belly hurts- I’ll ask about that when I go to follow up today, probably the actual spot the cut/stapled my new stomach. I’m tolerating Propel, tea, homemade chicken broth, grape Protein 2o and 50:50 Premier Protein:Water. No BM yet. I’m taking a bunch of cat naps (20 minutes at a time) and I don’t like that, I’d rather sleep in good long healthy chunks of time and all night long. Supposed to go back to work on Wednesday and I may delay that until the following Monday, we’ll see.

Yea, let your body adjust to the new you. Your surgery was just a few days ago. Take it easy. How much liquid are you able to take in now?
