Welcome aboard! I had my surgery on January 14th...one day ahead of you. For me the first hours after surgery were the worst!! I was told that I pressed the morphine button 386 times...Yikes! LOL But the next day was better...I'm feeling really good now, haven't taken pain med since Thursday (which I took for the headache I had...maybe from morphine withdrawel?? LOL). I was finding the worst part was gagging down the protein. I just tried EAS Protein in vanilla and was able to down that without gagging at all! I just came back from a walk down the block.
Sorry to go on...but just wanted you to see that each day has gotten better...I've not had any nausea but now realize when my stomach cramps I have to either go number 1 or 2...weird because before surgery those were not my "clues" to go... Who knew! LOL I go to my first recheck appointment with the surgeon on Tuesday also.
Take care and remember to walk, sip, sleep and get ALL your protein/liquids in!
Good luck,
Cathy
