Three weeks to go! I'm ready

[Jolisue 112]

I had mine done on 9/22! Home and feeling pretty good. I've got a bit of the gas pain in my shoulder but it definitely better today than yesterday. Does anyone know when we're supposed to poop post op? Don't feel the urge, but it's been like four days?

October 6 is my big day. But today's the first day of my preop liquid diet (woof! This is gonna be rough.)

You guys must be so thrilled that your dates are almost here! Any advice for someone a few days behind?

Jolisue, I think that's a typical side effect from painkillers. but keep an eye on it and maybe ask your dr about stool softeners. They warned my husband about the risk of impacted colon due to painkillers after his hernia surgery. - but if you did a liquid diet there might not be much to poop anyway lol
