DAY 3 POST OP

[pjackson0523 158]

On day three, my pain is a little worse, a little nausea and headache, which i'm sure could be from not drinking enough. But, so far, day 3 is the worse.

Hang in there, it will get better. Keep sipping, taking little walks, resting and use your pain meds!

Call your Dr. They should be able to give you something for the nausea. Hang in there!

Call and ask for different or more nausea meds. I'm currently being given 3 different anti nausea meds.. Just to be able to keep the liquids down.

It's really hard to get in all your Fluid intake.....Sip, Sip, Sip, Sip, and it will get better..... Your doing really well so far......I agree with calling your Dr's office for some help. They could give you something for your nauseousness too and if needed, an IV for fluids.....

i'm a week out and getting fluids in is still a challenge, but i just had my post-op appointment and my doc said that even sugar free popsicles and Jello count as liquid. the pain will get better, i was taking my pain meds for 4-5 days after surgery until i felt that i didn't need it anymore. also, my doctor prescribed zofran, the tablets that dissolve under the tongue, for nausea and that seemed to help with the nausea too. i only really felt nauseous after drinking too much. depending on the pain meds you are on, they should help with the headache too. good luck, i hope the pain goes away soon for you!

day 4-5 is when it got considerably better for me. just keep walking, and getting your liquids in! the more you walk, the better you feel. plus, it gets you up and feeling somewhat normal. it will get better! hang in there!
