2 days post op scared of beeing home



Recommended Posts

So... finally got the surgery and I felt great at the hospital, doing really good and the doctor was really happy with me.

But I came home yesterday and now its 4 in the morning, not getting any sleep. I guess everything is starting up again in my stomach because its making a lot of noice. I feel some pain, feeling tired and just scared of drinking to much. Did anyone else feel like this and when did it pass?

Thanks!

@@lejlavj my first few days were rough. During the middle of the night, around three am, I would start to feel a lot of pain. You should've been released with some pain meds, take it. I learned my lesson the hard way. As Elode says, it does get better. Please remember to drink your fluids, even if your scared. It's important to stay hydrated.

Wishing you a speedy recovery

I am single and was home alone after my surgery. I rested and took my meds around the clock for the first 3 days....which not only kept my pain away, but helped me sleep. Take your meds and try to relax. You'll get stronger everyday.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
