Hi! I'm late to this party, but I'm in NJ too! I live in Somerset County. My surgery was April 7th at JFK hospital in Edison.

took me six, and it was torturous! but it gets better. you can take stool softeners to help

I have no desire for alcohol right now (i'm having a hard enough time eating, lol) but how long did you wait before your first alcoholic drink? Did it really affect you much differently than before surgery? Wondering if I will be able to have a drink at my 20th HS reunion in August...

Thanks everybody!

Hi! I'm new to the boards, I hope I'm posting in the right place…I'm 9 weeks post surgery and I am nauseous everyday and I can barely make myself eat. I have not vomited, but I have terrible coughing and dry heaving fits throughout the day. No food appeals to me, I try, but I'm barely eating and for sure not getting enough Water. Is this normal? I need to know if there's an end in sight to feeling this way. I want to want food again, if that makes sense. I've been taking Zofran that I was prescribed the day of surgery. I'm almost out and I'm not even sure if it's helping. Is there another medicine that can be prescribed? I'm scheduled for my three month visit on July 8, but if I continue to feel this awful I may have to call the office. Thanks in advance for any tips and advice!!
