Post op Hour 18
Congrats on a successful surgery! I am only a couple weeks ahead of you (had mine done on 6/17) so I'm right here with you! I spent two nights in the hospital, but that may have also been due to also have my gallbladder removed and having post-anesthesia hypertensive issues.. The first two days were the worst for me pain wise, but the walking helped so much!! I didn't get any liquids until I had that awful xray done the next morning confirming there were no leaks (stuff tasted soooo gross). But then I go****er and isopure and a handy little checklist to make sure I was drinking .5-1 oz every 15 minutes.
How has your first week been? I wouldn't say I am in a great place at 4 weeks postop, but it has gotten easier in some days and more difficult in others. Part of me would like to just stay on liquids forever bc I know they go down easily and I can tolerate them! Keep up the good work and keep us posted!
