Its over! Thanks for all your support and prayers. The first three days were rough, but now I feel a little better each day. I even went and voted with my husband this morning. I burped for the first time yesterday, it hurt, but I haven't burped today yet. I am to stay on a very soft diet all week. It hasn't been to bad, sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and gravy, jello, baby food, and pudding are pretty much it. I am still taking my pain medicine and walking a lot and trying to breathe deep. I was nauseated the first few days but am on Reglen before each meal and the Doctor said that would help with that. I kept a wet wash cloth with me all the time the first few days, which helped. I don't need it any more, but I still keep my tummy pillow with me at all times.
I go for my first week post op check up on Thursday. Thanks again for all your support and if anyone has any questions about my experience that is thinking about or have had the surgery just let me know.
amo (its Latin for I Love)
