3 days post-op!
I'm 3 days post op and I'm moving around good. Today, I'm managing on plain tylenol...the tylenol #3 makes me too sleepy. I'll save the heavy hitter for tonight! I'm sore but it's tolerable. I'm bloated....and I'm focused on trying to get all the fluids I need in.. I feel too full to drink anything, but I know I have to. I force a burp every time I drink and if air comes out the other way, that's a bonus!!:biggrin: It sounds gross but it makes my bloated stomach feel sooo much better.
My doc has me on prilosec twice a day and clears for a whole week! I'm not hungry yet...Although, my son was cooking sausages earlier and I thought about chewing them and spitting them out...just to get the flavor! But, I didn't, that was the old me! :w00t: I fell asleep the other night b4 I took pain meds, and was awakened to the feeling of knives poking my stomach with every breath! Take your pain meds before you go to sleep!! I can feel the band on my stomach a little and that makes me squeemish :ohmy: When I take pain meds, that sensation goes away... So, the moral of this post is take pain meds and walk, burp and pass gas, and you'll feel just fine!! LOL! Hope this helps
