OMG GRILLED CHICKEN!! I am dying after today!!

I have had some crabby outbursts as well. I came to the conclusion that my pain med was giving me the anxiety so I stopped that stopped that and have felt so much better! how are you doing post-op would love to have a buddyI'm now 5 days post op, got most of my liquids in today but noticing more gas at night. I'm still sleeping in a recliner, but having not a lot of trouble getting around, so will try and switch to the bed tomorrow. Had an emotional outburst to my kids this evening (6 and 9) when they came running into our room for movie night with sunflower seeds and bags of popcorn, I said something about stepping on the feed bags and had to put myself in timeout in the other room. Then had to apologize to them for lashing out. Felt terrible. Keep on eye on those emotions y'all, I'm the normally calm and logical one in the family. I'm going to time out about for the next couple months...

I am still taking the tylenol 3 but at 1/2 the dosage with longer intervals. I get sore after moving around so much but I am moving around like normal now. I am also on nystatin as I got thrush from the oral pain meds. Anyone else have this?

Success this morning! Finally!! Lol I am feeling much better about everything today. How is everyone else doing?

TMI again: My surgery was on Monday 5/18 and I still have not had a bowel movement. Am I right to be freaking out?

Definitely been a lot of ups and downs over the past week but I am feeling pretty good today. I do have thrush from the oral pain medication so the doctor called in some nystatin for that. Good with fluids today and started eating pureed today. I am holding off to weigh myself until I go back to work on the 1st but I can't wait to see that number go down!

Thank you! Yeah I was feeling pretty sorry for myself last night. I have had 2 c-sections so I thought this should be no big deal for me but it turns out I was a little mistaken. Thank God I am feeling better now though.

Well guys, my surgery was on Monday and I have had a rough couple of days. The first day actually went really well, was up walking 2 hours after surgery, got down some juice, water, jello. I went home Tuesday afternoon but got really sick Tuesday night. Threw up 3 times during the night and once this morning. I am feeling better today though. Sleeping and walking all day as much as I can. I have not been able to get much down but that is improving now as well. I definitely felt really terrible last night though. Just have to keep reminding myself this will get better within a couple of days. Anyone else have any vomiting?

Me too! 1:00pm!

I had my pre-surgical class with the RN and nut last week so I bought mine. I ordered a chewable multivitamin and several different types of protein powder to try. I ordered calcium supplements as well. I have biotin and vitamin D at home already. I also ordered a Blender Bottle that the nut recommended for protein shakes.

Hello everyone! I am scheduled for May 18 in Milwaukee, WI. No pre-op diet for me either!
