Drena

Standing up to take sips of water helps soooo much right after your surgery. I think after the surgery there's still a lot of gas in your abdomen and for some reason, I found when I stood up to take my 20-30mls of water every half hour it was so much easier and it helped allow me to burp to make room for that water. I was sharing a room with another patient and she was struggling, so i told her what I was doing and she started doing it to and said it worked wonders Also if you feel nauseous at all, even if you think it's just a little, ask them for medication. I decided to try to ride it out and very quickly found out it was a bad idea. Nurse ended up putting me on a drip as they didn't trust me to tell them when i needed more medication. So don't be afraid to let them know exactly how you're feeling and if you need anti nausia. All the best! You can do it.

Thanks so much for you advice I will definitely use your advice very helpful taking all in consideration thank you 😊 🙏🏽
