This is my first chance to get on the net. I had the surgery on Friday and left the hospital Sunday morning. They would have let me leave on Saturday, but I was not comfortable eating so I asked to stay on the IV one more day. I did not eat anything Friday, because of nausea from getting knocked out.
I have been taking it slow. The only pain meds I took yesterday was right before bed and haven't had any today. Started with clear liquids. Yesterday I have cream of brocolli soup and cottage cheese. Today I have had cottage cheese again, and a slice of real cheese. The sensation of liquids getting caught in my esph. has gone away and I am going to start trying more things.
I haven't had PPIs since Thursday and have not experenced any reflux.
I have started feeling some pain in my left shoulder, mainly when I yawn or breathe deeply. I hope it doesn't get any worse or last very long.
I will follow-up next time I get to the office to check my e-mail. It looks like I will be back at work next week.
Feel free to post questions, I will answer when I return. Thanks to everyone how has posted about their experiences. It helps to go in with all of the available information.
