Had surgery May 2nd and back home!

I came home yesterday. Dr. Weaver and her staff are so great. It's a good thing, because after the first night I thought what the hell did I do. This was not even to be compared to any of my other surgeries. I've had 2 c-sections, gallbladder, lithropisies and stents. This hurt worse than any of them. I'm finally to the point where I can see it will get better. I finally got a good nights sleep last night. Something that was impossible in the hospital. They have beds from hell. What I did sleep was in a chair. Keep in mind everybody's body responds different. I think I expected too much it is major surgery. After my c-sections I was up the next day cleaning my room. Maybe that's not normal. I'm praying for you all! Lots of love, Tammy

Congrats on reaching the "other side" and becoming an official LOSER! Most excellent! Best wishes, Kathy

Thanks Guys!!! Hey Vicki your husband sounds like mine. I'm one of those spoiled princesses too. I don't know what I would do with out him. Lots of prayers, Tammy

Hi Tammy, I also had surgery on May 2nd and came back home yesterday. I agree with you about the pain it is really hard. I keep taken the meds though like clockwork. I am still on the clear liquids diet did you start your protein shakes yet?? Thanks Tricia

Tammy- I too had surgery on May 2nd. I am glad to hear I am not the only one who was thinking... what did I do! Still really sore, hard to even stand up straight. Hard to get all the food and liquids in that they want you to. Before the surgery, I could get the protein shakes in no problem, now it's the hardest of all. Hope all goes well, and please keep us May'ers updated. Tracy

it's hard for me to straighten up too. I'm up to 2 oz in the food and almost 4 oz on the shakes. Haven't found one I like yet. I do agree with the shakes I have a fuller feeling. Tammy

Tricia, I'm on puree and shakes right now. It's hard to eat. I can get thru about 2 oz. right now Tammy
