FINALLY!!!!....We did it!!! I have officially become one of “You People”! Everything went about as good as you could hope for, no surprises except for one thing. I’ve never had surgery before and up till now, I’ve always heard that Cops had the best drugs….its not true!!
I am doing WAY better than I had ever thought possible. I went home last night after just 2 1/2 days in the hospital. The pain and the side effects have almost been non-existent, so surprised. They had me on a morphine drip for the first 24 hrs and I thought it was because of that, but I haven’t had any pain meds for over 36 hours and the pain is real mild. I seen someone post on here before and say it felt like they'd done 100 sit-ups, that’s EXACTLY the way it feels to me, In high school, I would do 100 sit-ups per day and it feels just like that, so minimal, very surprised and lucky!
A couple of things I didn’t expect….I am extremely ravenous hungry! Like a teenager???WTF??? I’d seen someone post this before too, but can’t remember? 80+ percent of my stomach is gone, how can I be this hungry without all that production of ghrelin??? I’m hoping that one I start on my protein shakes tomorrow, this will subside some.
So, just wanted to say hi and give an up-date. I know I'm not out of the danger zone just yet, but things do look very encouraging!! Thxs!
