Pebulz have you tried a heating pad? I've heard that helps with pain.

No i dont have one im gonna have to get one cause someone else suggested it last night

Give tips please ....im in so much pain tonight

I used the pain meds, a heating pad, and really isolated which muscle was pulled and worked really hard not to use it. I think making smart moves was the most important thing to help with being able to get some rest last night. But, I do have to say that getting up this am was REALLY hard to do. I wanted to sleep so bad, and I did sleep. But not moving for so many hours in a row sure caused pain when I did move. Now I am back to the chair. Ugh...

Sorry I haven't informed anyone...just trying to get through the rough part. I'm doing great! Still have mild pain once and again. I take one pain pill (norco) and one Tylenol. I'm eating broth Popsicle's, juice mixed with Water and SF Jello. My hubby is straining Soup since it is tastier than regular broth. I sleep in the recliner and I walk often. Was really bloaty and had to deal with the gas pains (no fun.) but after my first BM the bloat was much better. The plumbing works great! ???? Anyway they ran into a hernia and the dr fixed that too. This has truly been a breeze. I've had a lot of support and prayers and of corse all of you. I did come home and had a moment of realization. I had a good cry. Just taking in everything that just happened and the pain and bloat, etc... Was just a lot to take in. But I am ready to embrace this journey now and can already feel a difference. I woke up this morning and watered my garden! It's great to be a looser!

Is any one else feeling fatigued after what seems like slight exertion. I have had to take a nap everyday. I go to sleep at night at a reasonable hour. I get up at 8 am most mornings. I am 2 weeks post op. I figured by now I would be over taking naps.

I used the pain meds, but slowly weaned away from them. I use the heating pad more and walk a few times a day, but stay close to home. I get that rumbly tummy and I'm headed for the door. That let's me know I've walked too much. I say get a lot of rest, maybe elevate your legs a little and sleep.
