Day After Surgery



Recommended Posts

The day after surgery I was wheel to the xray place and drank chalky white stuff. Everything looked good. The doctors came in and said everything went fine. I have 6 incisions which I thought was odd and a larger one by my belly button-he said that was for the camera. The other incisions looks very small. he port gave me a lot of pain and holding a pillow to it helped a lot. I could barely eat anything the day after surgery. The day of surgery they didn't give me anything to eat or drink-my throat was dry and sore I had a raspy voice. The chicken broth was good-but only 1 shot glass at a time.

So far no major gas, but I realize I am not home free and it could happen at any time. A little acid reflux which I am taking meds for. I slept pretty good on my right side thanks to Tynelol (sp)with codine.

Today I have to force myself to walk around a little. I am a slow healer. It just feels like I have been punched in the stomache a few times. I still can't eat much but I love my icy pops! Make sure you get some sugar free pops for the freezer-yummy!

I am invited to a BBQ tomorrow-I am up in the air whether I feel like stopping by or not. Thanks again for everything!!
