Surgery went well yesterday. Ended up with horrible gas pain and extra pain due to my incisions. I had a hernia repair years ago and one of my incisions had to go through some scar tissue. So that may the pain almost unbearable. I felt like I was in labor and could barely get up to walk they way I needed to. It's almost 6am and i'm still in some pain and a little nauseous now. Despite the pain, i'm still happy that I made the decision to have it done.

I forgot to ask. Are you home or still in the hospital? I only stayed overnight and was discharged the following day on what my surgeon called a "conditional discharge" -- translation: I had to be able to get up and walk (my favorite part!), drink enough fluids, and juggle three rolls of toilet paper in the air. Just kidding about the second condition, er, I mean the last condition.

I had surgery on Monday and was home Tuesday. I pushed myself to walk, despite the fact I was in pain from a couple of my incisions. Made sure I was getting in my fluids in though. It's now 3 days post-op and i'm feeling better as each day passes. I'm just struggling with getting in my protein, but my surgeon says it's okay if I don't get it all in. She says after the first week, it will get easier for me. I just have to learn my new stomach

@AlteredReality. Where art thou? Has your pain subsided? How is your protein intake?

Thank you for checking in on me. The worse part of the pain has finally eased up thankfully. I do end up with some pain from time to time, mainly at night. I'm finally getting in enough protein and liquids. It takes me about 2 hours to finish 8oz of protein shakes. So i'm pretty much sipping protein shakes off and on all day. Had a couple bouts of too much in my stomach. Couldn't feel where I had taken in anything. Figured out what the issue was pretty quick though. I realized I don't do well with warm liquids. So I have to have everything ice cold, to be able to tell when my stomach has had enough. How are things going for you though?
