I'm home!
vsg Monday and home yesterday. Feeling happy. Having trouble getting liquid down and I am taking painkillers. Just able to walk around my apartment today, maybe try a shower later .
Glad you are home and it went well. Little sips throughout the day add up. Always have a fluid nearby to sip on.

Thank you everyone for your kind words. I am home alone and felling a little sorry for myself right now....
The first couple of days are the worst. It will get better each day, just take it slow and keep your fluids up. Walking however slowly will get the tummy gas moving.
I felt like I'd been hit by a mac truck the first 2-3 days. Now I'm 9 days out and feeling pretty good. You've got this.
