How did you feel? Were you completely knocked out or where you able at some point to have a conversation with someone (in my case it would be my mom). Did you just been in a funk or were you able to be up for a little bit?
*Right* after surgery, like in the first hour out of the recovery room, I was conscious and coherent and able to talk... between barfing. :) Once the anti-nausea drugs kicked in, I felt exhausted and sleepy but basically fine mentally.
I was up and out of bed and walking a little bit by about 18 hours after, as were most of us.
Good luck!!
What Jenna said.
I did not get sick to later at night. For me I think it was the morphine more then anything.
But keep talking to a minimum first few hours.
All will be good.
Hugs

Comfortable, wide awake, in good spirits and totally lucid. Actually even tried some lines from the Waking up after SRS (https://www.susans.org/forums/index.php/topic,145234.0.html) thread.
Didn't start feeling bad until later in the day when I began cramping up because I had to stay still.
I nearly died from blood loss. I had to have four units put in me.
But after that I was fine.
I was aware of my surroundings and even asked the Dr how everything went, they thought I might need a graft. I got a little motion sick in the elevator though.
