Wow crackers ????

Theres no way i would even be able to eat them now & im 12 days post op !!

How the heck did you keep those down ??

Im glad you can see now why you needed the pain meds.

I was on oxycodone which is pretty much morphene... 20ml 4 times a day for a week !

But im sook & have a low tolerance for pain.

Im glad your feeling good now hun !!

Good luck with everything xxx

My post surgery diet is clear liquids day 1 & 2. And day 3 &4 full liquids. So today I am on full liquids. I took my painmeds this morning with my Protein drink this morning.

yesterday was the day I ate crackers. I didn't have any problems. I chewed them until they were mush.

Since I am now on full liquids I can eat yogurt, pudding, oatmeal..... Why does it sound like everyone has a longer clear liquid diet???

If they went down fine then thats good ... I just wouldnt attempt it coz i feel alot of restriction. Watery pureed apple i even syruggle with.... Whatever works for you hun.

I had my surgery today at 8am. I am completely sore and have no energy. I've been sipping my 1 ounce of Water, every hour and that appears to be fine. However I am urinating every 20 minutes. Is this the IV flowing through me? I think I am sore because I keep getting up and walking to the bathroom. My stomach hurts and I can't tell if it's hunger pains or if it's the result of surgery.

My mouth is unbelievably dry. What in the world have I done??

My insissions are Much larger than I expected.

I opted out of pain killers because I have a weak stomach. I can't take pain killers on an empty stomach. It'll make me vomit and votmiting is not part ofbthe plan. Did anyone have these issues.?

Having a complete melt down. And want to feel better

I hope you are feeling alot better now. I too went through the same feelings (surg. 2/20/12). I had a hernia repair and it has made my recovery last a little longer, but walking and deep breathing has been so benefitial. I just have to keep reminding myself that I did this to be healthier

My surgery was on the first and I feel pretty Dan good compared to the rest of the days hehe. Is it normal for the bruised part of my belly where the port is to be stinging. I expected pulling and I suppose stinging is normal too just trying to get off these pain meds but not with this comfort level!

Yep...mine stung for a little while. Doctor said it was where the skin was pulling itself back together to heal.
