Surgery Over & I"m Back Home
I've had almost no pain - but my surgeon used this awesome tool called OnQ - it dispenses lydacane to and around the incision points so right now 90% of my stomach is numb - We'll see how things feel in a few days when that wears off!
Anyway, thanks for you prayers and support!
Don't quit before the miracle...

By the time your tummy isn't numb, most of the pain will be over. Sounds great.
Keep walking, sipping and resting. You are on your way to a great adventure.

I also had a "pain pump" - after one of my plastic surgery's - was awesome.. it was only for a few days but it was to get you through the rough parts.
Take it easy - you've had major surgery - rest, sip and walk!

How are you at pacing your drinking? I'm finding that a little hard. I've tried setting a timer on my phone LOL. Do you know what happens if you drink your water or your meal too fast? I'm in my 2nd week so for lunch & dinner I'm have 5oz of thinned & strained cream of broccoli etc. soup with a scoop of unflavored protein (I might thin it down some more with a splash of water). How are you doing?
