Surgery has happened!

So it is Tuesday 17th of July 2012, and I am sitting the hospital. I had my sleeve operation on Saturday the 14th of July and everything went well.
My total optifast weight loss was 8kgs on the dot. I awoke from surgery with a nasal tube, 2 drainage tubes into my belly and another little on on my belly just under the skin. Day 1 was pretty sleepy, I was happy to accept all the pain meds but a bit disappointed I didn't get a self administer pain button but I survived.
On the Sunday I had an xray with a dye that i swallowed to check for leaks and it was all good so they pulled out the nasal tube, what a relief that was. It really isn't a nice thing. They also took out one of the deep belly drain tubes. Monday night my iv was turned off as I am now drinking and handling the liquids well enough, and then today the other tubes have all come out. I feel free!
I have been put on a bariatric diet which consists of high protein drinks. Some are OK, some not. But they are important for healing. Would be good if I could get a bit of ice cream as the cold is nice. But I shall send hubby past the shop tomorrow for me.
Pain wise i feel well today, Yesterday also, but then i went for a walk around the hospital and ended up sore last night. I haven't had any pain meds since about 11pm last night so happy about that.
Today I am going to finish watching the shows I downloaded onto my laptop before I head home tomorrow back to reality.
I am eager to weigh myself when I get home, whilst I know I am bloated I also didn't have anything to drink or eat for a few days.
Once I get home thee liquids stage kicks in, soups and sustagen... I am looking forward to the mushy stage when I can have scrambled eggs. MMMM eggs. It is still the thing I am craving most.
