Hubby home , equivalent to liquid Tylenol double dose started...no change to pain ,.. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Thank you, I will try ice pack... I'm in Flower Mound Tx, north of DFW airport. Just checked the weather to see if it was gonna keep my husband till 6am... too soon to tell, he said. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Another episode of shooting hot pain...All I was doing was reaching for the door knob to let my Great Danes out. I nearly keeled over. WTH...I'm dressed and headed to CVS for Tylenol... will it really make a difference? This is getting sooooo depressing... I want my husband off work, my mom alive, my dad able to drive over here... something...my 3 dogs are wondering why I'm crying. I know there's alot worse things and issues, but this is my pain, and this is crazy! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Just wanted to wish all VST subscribers a very happy wonderful Holiday! This is the best forum and everyone of y'all feel like a personal friend of mine!! Though some of us are not doing well, we will get thru this!! I just know it! Ho Ho Ho and Jingle all the Way! Glenda! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I'm home...Thankfully my husband, his 4 adult children, and our 4 grand kids, agreed to a January 1st Christmas this year. ( my husband working, and me not very mobile). I'm taking nothing for the pain yet, was gonna try CVS here in a sec, but it is Christmas Eve... have no idea what's open. My husband should be off 10pm, if the snow/rain/storms hold off for North and East Texas, otherwise he be home 6am. Really surprised I didn't get a pain shot or script....because I really cannot do anything but sit here by my lonesome... I'm okay though, I'm gonna make it thru this. Sent from my iPhone using VST

liquid Tylenol is proving to a bit elusive to find... CVS, and Walgreens so far don't carry it! Well I need to get home and lay down. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Well I have peace of mind... On my way home. All labs, X-rays, and scans were perfect, ruled out everything that could be wrong. The burning pain, and weird skin sensation is being attributed to possibly nerves re-routing...Was told liquid Tylenol, but no longer than a week. I wish I had more of an answer, really. I have to trust that all is good, except being in pain...Thank you All'!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Checked in...blood drawn... IV started, and the 1st of two swallow of something nasty, next swallow in 30 minutes... Thank you everyone for your wonderful support on this Christmas Eve Eve!! Trying to stay positive and not think to much, as this is an anniversary date of a house fire and lost a beloved Great Dane, several years ago. "That which does not destroy you, defines you."

Headed to ER in the metroplex where surgery performed... dammit! (Sorry) Sent from my iPhone using VST

Ok my skin is sensitive to the touch where the pain is...and I just looked in a mirror and it looks ever so slightly discolored in circle and bumpy. What the heck? I really really don't want to be admitted to the hospital...I can't believe this! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Ok... I was leaning on my elbows in kitchen counter...and something knotted twisted I don't know what, but caused me to yell out and immediately find the couch. Do I go to the ER 5 minutes away, will they know what to do? Or drive 45 minutes to where my surgery was? I'm still hoping it's nothing, but it is consuming my thoughts.

I've talked to Dr. last night... I'm barely able to walk normally...He said time to worry is if I started feeling sick. My surgery has been like following a text book, no issues once so ever, until this. Is this a chapter I missed. I've done nothing since yesterday but lay with a heating pad. It kills me to walk the few steps to make a shake or go to the bathroom. It's bringing down, dang it. I know there are worse issues than this, but I've been doing well and have been upbeat, and now my husband is home today after working 16 hour days and working 16 tomorrow and also Christmas night (works for electric provider, 24/7 operations). And I can't move. If Dr. not concerned because I'm not nauseated, makes me feel a bit better, but to get no relief, not even "the edge off"...I'm totally getting depressed....Sorry for my whining, my husband is trying to understand, but all I can tell him is "It hurts... right here"...I don't think U need an ER, but I don't know....Sorry again to unload... Sent from my iPhone using VST

Ugh...so much to do...no relief at all... heating pad all night, ibuprofen as directed...starts hurting the minute I stand up...darn it! darn it! darn it!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

I just started eating last Wednesday, and really not much, cottage cheese, can chicken... mostly still Protein drinks. I'm not sick, nauseated or anything like that. It's like a sharp, burning type pain... when I walk, I automatically want to push in where it hurts and like try to support that area. I don't know if a sore muscle would feel like this. I've been more active in the last week, moving Christmas Tree around, climbed the attic ladder and brought down decorations, etc... But the pain stops when I sit and stop all activity. I went to buy an abdomen support thingy, but XL is to small! What is this? I've had no issues at all with my procedure, until this now. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Biotene makes a tablet, that you place stick to roof of your mouth also...and a toothpaste... You are allowed to brush your teeth aren't you? So sorry for your issues and problems. Will keep sending love, hugs, prayers, strength and healing your way! Sent from my iPhone using VST

5'6" HW 303 SW 293 Nov. 27 CW 279 3x tops, 24/26 pants (tad bit looser now) Still on liquid diet, been 279 since day 14 post op... Sent from my iPhone using VST

I'm probably cutting out breads also, but bread is allowed after day 22 post op for me, and only if it is toasted... Sent from my iPhone using VST

I'm 2 weeks post... Started MiraLAX day 4.., realized I didn't need daily... Actually hadn't used since 1st week. It doesn't make you go, just makes it bearable in case you might be constipated. I lucked out, so far no constipation... Sent from my iPhone using VST

I had my 1st follow up yesterday. Was told to continue liquid diet until day 22, and continue crushing meds until 6 weeks out! If that helps the healing and prevents possible leak issues, then I'm good with that. I never had nausea, was able to get my Protein and liquids in right away. I've been walking about 3 x a day which totals about 1 mile. Yesterday I did some major house cleaning and today I can't bend over or reach or twist...oops, dang it. How is everyone else? Does anyone where or use a tummy support thingy majig? Also, is it better to walk further at a slower pace, or walk faster but not as far? Wishing everyone well and continued successes!!
