How long after your surgery were you on pain meds? I had mine 5/19 and have been taking them every 4 to 5 hours.

I was on mine for like 2 weeks, though by the end of the two weeks I was really only taking them before bed to help me sleep more comfortably. Hope your recovery is going well. :)

I stopped taking mine on day 3 or 4, as well as my nausea medicine, mostly because I couldn't get the medicine down. I would gag and throw up every time, so I decided it just wasn't worth it. I suppose if I needed it badly enough, I would have forced myself to continue.

I was on mine for maybe the second day home (3 or 4th overall) but I realized I was taking it because they GAVE it to me and I was anticipating pain but there really wasn't anything tylenol couldn't handle. No, all in all I have to admit it was a really smooth pain free procedure; it was uncomfortable for sure, but real pain? very little thank god

I stopped the 2nd day in the hospital. I felt really lucky in that regard. I had my surgery on 5/16, and haven't had to crack the liquid pain meds!

I only take mine when I take a walk

The strong pulling pains are still strong while moving, but no pain after I sit back down.

Hope this ends in next few days.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
