Day Ten

Well things are much improved I'm glad I took the extra days off. Still have pain on the left side and I am very swollen still. But I am still alive!! Lots of gas. I finally slept all night. My first post op is today.

Keep walking and follow doctor's orders. It does get better!

Hi JustBK,

I had my surgery on the 1st too and my first post OP appt too. I haven't had problems sleeping thankfully and not too gassy, but I am still pretty sore on the port side (right side in my case). At least they took the bandages off today. I was starting to get raw under the tape. I can't wait until I can have mashed/puréed foods in 8 days. How are you doing on the liquid diet and how did your appt go today?
