Home now Gas hurts. Otherwise feel pretty good. Put too much shake in my pouch last night - very uncomfy! Lesson learned! Took off this humongous binder thing they had on me that extended from mid-boob to coochie. Seemed a little excessive.

I didn't get a chance to post on here before the surgery, but yaaaaay! XOXOXOXO

I came home about 5:30 PM last night.

I'm not going to lie, my surgery was pretty painful. I woke up to recovery in quite a bit of pain and confusion (pretty normal) and my back was K I L L I N G me because I had been laying on it for about 5 hours at that point. It took them awhile to find a room for me. I had mild gas pains, just enough to be annoying - but as soon I was able to, I was up and walking. My hospital stay was plagued with annoyances. I like to sleep on my stomach, but couldn't. I was hooked up to three different IVs so maneuvering and using the bathroom was difficult.

I've been dealing with a little bit of nausea at this point and it hurts to stand up straight. I couldn't really down the Protein Shake they gave me at the hospital, but I have a lot of options at home. They provided me with chicken broth but I couldn't stand the smell. The only time I "threw up" was when they tried to give me liquid pain medication.

Right now I'm sipping on Water and it's going down well enough.

I did have some instances of, "Why did I do this to myself?" But I've been trying to talk myself down from it.
