Hi everyone.. I had surg 730 Wed morning.. Got home around 9 on Friday..

Surgery went extremely well.. surgeon was very happy.....

Hell started when I woke up though.. I was puking blood clots from the staple line because I was so nauseas for about 30 hours...THey were worried I would ruin somehting with all the wretching so did an Upper GI and everything looked awesome..

I am feeling great now and TMI but I actually had movement already ... very excited about that..

Its so hard to get my liquids in.. i HATE crystal light now which is so weird.. So I am just sipping water but have had about 10 oz in 7 hours so i need to work on that more..

Was up walking even with the nausea an hour after I woke up from surgery... so I am doing well now... Thank you so much for the support during pre op!
