24 Week post-Op - Another Surgery

Today I have just been hanging out at home since I had surgery yesterday. The pain from gas was a lot worse than with VSG. I got to the hospital at 11am, they took me into a prep room at 11:15am, then they said okay lets go right away, and I got pulled into surgery fast. I was struggling with anxiety while they were trying to get the IV in and my veins got really small so they couldn't get it in the first two tries. They finally got it in my bicep, weird spot. I went into surgery and was out and awake by 2:45pm. I went t my room and my mom and husband were there and I had to pee, eat and take my last pill before they cut me off meds. I went home at about 5:30pm. I got home and went straight to bed. I was in so much pain. 

This morning I got up and worked all day. I had a hard time sitting straight in my computer chair, but I was busy so it took my mind off it. I was in pain so I finally went back to bed to heal more at like 3pm. I skipped one round of meds because I was so busy working. When my husband got home (I can't stretch to reach the microwave right now), I was able to have some chicken noodle soup for dinner. 

I'm going to try an egg tomorrow. It's a struggle because all the foods online are foods I can't have with VSG like bread, rice and pasta.
