Home and doing fine....
Before surgery I actually did really well...I didn't even take anything to calm me down. Now they said I did really well and was really not that "wet"...so much so that I have barely anything coming out in my drain. I am feeling better and drinking most if not all my liquids, but I am having the darnest time with flavors. EVERYTHING is too strong for me and I have to delute it down by at least half, except for canned broth. I still feel like I am completely been beat up in my stomache area especially my drain and belly button and my head feels slightly off. But that being said. I am in less pain that I thought I would be and am able to do anything I am up to....Oh...and all pain meds in and out of the hospital, put me right to sleep !

Hey, you describe exactly how I'm feeling too... (minus the flavor thing)
I went from feeling like I kicked in the gut by an elephant (day 1 being home) to feeling like I was kicked in the gut by a large dog (day 4 being home). Each day gets a little better, hang in there!!!

I find things are really strongly flavored too. I made the mistake of adding Unjury protein to my yogurt today, and I put in too much for the small amount of yogurt and I can taste a residue. I guess I will try wateing it down and mixing it wil another protein drink later on. I really don't want to waste the expensive protein.
My soreness is amost all gone, and I'm at 3 days out. Now that I got a good night's sleep last night, I'm raring to go today.
Hang in there, it gets better each day.
