Actually, I got home yesterday. Was the surgeons first patient Tuesday morning. From what I hear, surgery took less than an hour, and allegedly I did fantastic. All Tuesday, I had serious buyers remorse - asking WTH did I do to myself. Pain eased each day, and I'm feeling ok today. Still most comforatable laying down. Starting to get hungry - but I think that's just head hunger. I'm so done with clear liquids - Had the 2 times doing 5 days clear liquids pre-op and now have to be on them 2 more weeks. This is cruel and unusual punishment. Feel like I'm going to fling the next cup of broth or jello at someone. But, overall, I'm doing ok. I go to my PCP monday for a B12 shot, and I see my surgeon Wednesday... I'm hoping he moves me to full liquids on WEdnesday. Im holding out for it! So, I guess I"m FINALLY on the losers bench.. and I think I'm happy to be here. Denise

Welcome to the losers bench Denise! Glad your doing better. Each day gets easier. Talking about head hunger...sometimes I think it is just habit. I have no appetite yet I find myself looking into the refrigerator. I don't know that I'm looking for something to eat but then I say to myself, "what the hell are you doing? I'm not hungry, get out of the refrigerator." I then close the door and walk away, but I truly think it's habit. Good luck and hope your feeling even better tomorrow.
