I'm home! Surgery was a success, and I'm sipping my clear liquids and enjoying it. Only downside is a bit of discomfort. Going to rest now.

    Congratulations! Rest and healing and moving around soon. 12 days post-op for me and I did a 2 mile walk today (followed by a 1 hr nap!)

    Right now, I'm resting. Walking around the house, up and down stairs. My back and stomach feel as if I've done 1000 sit-ups. Is that normal?

    Otherwise, feeling good.

    A 2-mile walk... I'll need to work up to that. Good for you!

    If you can't pass gas use gas ex...I told my family I don't care about rude noises or smells because it felt so good to get that excess gas out. Going up and down the stairs also helps with the gas. The stomach pain is normal. I am 3 1/2 weeks out and I still have some pains. Mostly going away though.

    I've had a couple "booty toots", but nothing like before, where I looked like a balloon when you let go of the end.

    I am needing some variety in my clear liquid. I have:

    sugar free Jello (which doesn't taste sugar free)
    water & water / juice mix
    broth
    herbal tea w/o sugar (peppermint, passion fruit, lemon zinger, red zinger...)

    What else is there?

    Two boxes are in my freezer. I started experimenting with them in my "pre-op, eat what you want and experiment" stage. Wegmans brand is really good.

    I had a Gerber strawberry baby yogurt for dinner. It only took me 2 hours since I licked it off the spoon. ;-)

    In other news, should I be this TIRED? I mean, walk-a-marathon kind of tired. Just bone-weary. Yay for medical leave, 'cause it's bedtime for me.
