Congratulations! My surgery isn't until Oct 1. But I was wondering about the amount of pain/nausea? What meds did you get? did they get u up to walk right away?

Best wishes on your journey !

HI guys. I am sorry I am just getting back to answering this post I have taken my recovery seriously and have not logged on mostly because i had mild headaches due to the lack of sugar. My pain experience from 1-10 was a 3 and mostly because I felt uncomfortable sleeping upright and not on my side. No nausea! My mom was in the hospital to help me get up to go RR. I was up 2 Hrs later walking. Thehardest part int he 48 hour stay was that i was thirsty and i couldnt have ice chips until discharge so i kept washing my mouth. In the last 5 days post-op the hardest has been sipping since I am thirsty and eant to down a water bottle. Like i mentioned a few headaches due to lack of sugar, but nothing an ice pop and childrens tylenol didnt fix. Also i still find myself craving, its more mental I guess. Still eyes bigger than stomach since I seem to think I can still eat a burger when in reality I cant even finish a Jello. Hope this helps.

Thank you for sharing! I'm 3 days post op and I had some nausea from the anesthesia but nothing to bad. I agree the pain is not being able to sleep on your side or tummy! I also suffered from thirst, I drink lots of Water and ice chips were heaven!
