Am miserable. Can't sleep, in pain and the liquid lortab makes me sick. I look at my distended belly with the giant holes in it and really question if I made a mistake. It's too late now.

I would call the dr tomorrow and see if they can change your pain med or give you something for the nausea from the meds...either Phenergan (will make you sleepy) or Zofran (won't make you sleepy).

I have my surgery on the 17th and wondering how I will feel after.

Hope you feel better soon!!

Sorry you're in so much pain : / I'm 5 days out and as weird as it is, the 4th day was the worse for me. I laid in bed all day...I swear if I get clots it will be because of yesterday! The loritab isn't helping me much either...But tylenol Pm is...They told me not to take pills yet but sent me home saying I can take one of my regular meds that's a 1 gram pill...it's huge!!! So I figured tylenol pm wouldn't hurt plus it really helps me sleep! I'm starting to have a lot of back pain from sleeping in the same position. I can't wait till I can lay on my side all the way! Have you been using a little pillow against your stomach every time you get up and down? That has been a life saver for me!!!

THe Phenegren knocked me O-u-t! I couldn't take any other pain meds. Do you have a drain? If it's gas, try walking. I know you don't want to hear that but it really does help. I hope you feel better and this is the hardest part. I thought the exact same thing post-op! I wanted to rewind time but I am 19 days out now and it's sooooo much better!

Thanks everyone. Took a walk around my house for about 20 mins and crushed up a xanex. I know he also fixed a hiatial hernia. I wonder if that could be part of it? My drain was taken out at the hospital thank god.
