kazjim98 618 Posted February 22, 2013 Congratulations!! It's hard in the beginning, the swelling makes it hard to drink, but you need to! Just take small sips, move as much as you can, rest when you have to and remember your doctors office is just a phone call away.

line-dancer 810 Posted February 22, 2013 I drank hot tea or sometimes just the hot Water tummy likes to be warmed up. heating pads is a life saver and take stool softners get things moving on the inside. rest, rest rest 1 SeaSounders♥ reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
