Whoa, what a rough ride! I'm glad to hear everything is over and now you can finally start healing.
Right now you're probably exhausted, you'll need any nourishment you can get. The zofran will help lots, keep taking it, whatever helps you get protein, water and vites down!
Get better soon!

I'm so glad you have been all fixed up - despite your understandable sadness and sense of loss. Do not be surprised if your feelings of sadness persist a bit - you are undergoing a HUGE hormonal dump right now. Were your ovaries also removed? If so, you've been thrust into instant menopause.
Don't worry about the vites too much - they'll be there waiting for you. I have heard that hysterectomies are tough recoveries, due to the area that has been incised. My sister had a huge tumor removed off of her uterus, and still says it was worse than her DS, her c-section and two hernia repairs put together!

I hope you get to feeling like yourself again soon. It must be difficult not to have a choice in the matter of a hysterectomy but if it saves your life - i is necessary. I'll be swinging schnauzers for your quick recovery!
