Hi there! I am new here. Had surgery on Tuesday, discharged on Wednesday, first day home has been ok. I am sipping clear liquids and I have had zero pain. Thank goodness! I just wanted to say hello and come out of hiding.

Welcome! Keep sipping and walking!!!! You're doing great!

Welcome! Great job on no pain and keeping up your liquids!

Happy to answer any questions, it can be overwhelming at first but you can do it!

Best of luck!

Welcome! Visit often and continue to heal while resting, walking and sipping!

Congrats on your surgery and your great recovery. Walking and fluids are really key not only in the beginning, but throughout your journey. When I had surgery, I had trouble slowly walking for 5 minutes, but by walking several short walks every day, I can now walk, run and hike for hours. Also making sure that you get enough fluids keeps your body healthy. It may be hard at first and you may have to experiment with different things that settle and taste better, but keep it up. You can do it! For the first few months, I focused on herbal tea and SF popsicles because I had trouble drinking plain water.

Keep us posted on your progress!

Congratulations on your surgery! Welcome to the losers bench ... what a ride it is.

Wishing you a happy and healthy 2018.
