TweetDay 1:

I slept most of the day. I woke up in the afternoon and decided to try to get up and walk. They said slowly walking was good would help. I learned really quick that I needed help getting up off the couch. I haven't taken any pain medication at this point and my overall pain level is about a 5 out of 10. Surprisingly not as bad as I was expecting. Just very sore. My wife helped me up and walking was a bit of a challenge. Just gotta take it super slow and shuffle. Peeing still very uncomfortable and I'm dreading my first #2. I started drinking Miralax and taking a Colace every morning, as well as sugar free Metamucil every night to keep everything soft and moving. There aren't any diet restrictions, but I'm keeping everything to really soft foods. Nothing heavy. I found out that they pump your abdomen with gas in order to have room for the instruments to move around and a lot of that air is absorbed into your system, so I also started taking extra strength Gas-X to help with that. All in all, a very interesting but not too bad of a first day.
