Update!

My surgery was July 23. Woke up in some discomfort more from the gas they used during surgery then anything. I was up walking within a few hours and had my leak test by 5pm. I sipped all night on decaf tea and some yummy broth! My hospital was excellent and I can't brag on them enough.

 

I was discharged on the 25th and have been doing well at home. My son and I have been walking the cul de sac daily and my liquid diet is just fine. I go to the surgeon on Monday morning and will hopefully be progressed to pureeds.

 

Thanks for all the info you ladies share. It helped me greatly as I went through surgery!

Welcome to the losers bench! Keep us updated.

Sounds like you're doing great. Congrats.

Well done! Glad you have your son walking with you.

Yeah for you!! This is the best thing I have ever done for myself, hope you feel the same about you!
