kbush 176 Posted July 12, 2013 Less than 24 hours post op I feel great. No pain. I finally got some gas relief. But I have coughed one of my incisions open. What I thought was as pain is actually swelling where they placed my port. My shoulder stopped hurting!!!!! I did figure out that if I sip sip sip I won't have the urge to cough. I wish I would have figured that out 12 hours ago.. 1 aviva1979 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Took a longer walk and that helped. Right now my incisions and a persistent headache are the pain sources but they are bearable. Of course the morphine helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have noticed that I don't have the ire to pee anymore..... I'm usually the potty master. Hahahaha. I am surprised how much I've been peeing in comparison w my intake, tho I'm also hooked to an IV. With the Unjury be careful not to heat the Water past 140 degrees. I ignored that b/c I didn't want warm liquid, I wanted hot and it got totally funky and had to throw it away.

aviva1979 375 Posted July 12, 2013 My throat is better. I'm loving day 2 Mine isn't yet but they just gave me a lozenge that helped. The inside of my lip is all really raw and swollen from where the breathing tube was taped. Think it was pressing my lip into my tooth. Ah well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't have to - but I prefer to. I use myfitnesspal app and if you go to their full website on a computer you can print out your daily entries. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
