POST-OP DAY 2

Another beautiful day in Puerto Vallarta. The sun is shining brightly on the lovely treed mountains and palm-type tree outside my window.  I finally got a good nights sleep last night after the trouble of yesterday.  \i had my test and everything went well.  No leaks! Stomach is much better today, Although liquid is moving but is moving slowly.   I got to have my first drink and some tiny bits of lime sherbet  What a treat!  I got in about as much as my index fingernail, but it sure tasted yummy.  Now have to take one sip every 5 minutes    Gas pains are quite so  bad, but \i have been walking and walking so is manageable   My other sleevers have left the hospital already, but I will have to stay until 6:00pm as I Dr. needs to be sure I can handle the liquids all day.

I did have a bit of : okay the surgery is over, now is the time to adjust to putting things into my mouth and swallowing them.   Again I felt, but just in a very small way, have I done the right thing?   I still believe I have, but the adjusting I have to get used to.   I was also able to take my medication this morning so fell much better now.  

When the drains come out it will be so much better.  They are uncomfortable and push on your insides.  Still have gas pain up on and under my collar bone but is bearable when I walk.  More I walk the better I will be.   No more nausea or vomiting,  Thank goodness!
