2 Days Post Op

[DFernandez718 59]

Feeling much better today! The day after surgery is extremely uncomfortable! I really suggest that if you're going to have this surgery, please stay in the hospital for at least 2 days! Don't rush to go home. Stay in the hospital and let the nurses take care of you until you feel good enough to leave. I came home the day after surgery and I felt like crap! Extremely nauseous and I had horrible gas and hiccups! Today I feel much better! So my advice is, stay in the hospital for at least 2 days

Hi guys, today was my day three and I'm finally home. Past two days were miserable but it gets better! Today passed gas 15 times yes, I'm counting, and now I feel so much better. Also I had Water, 1/4 shake and hot peppermint tea and I burped 3 times in a row after the tea, and now I feel much better.

The hard part is the gas, try to walk around if you can and drink Water. That funky feeling in your tummy is gas trying to get out, but once you get it out, drinking gets easier. If you drink it will help with the gas in your track, so keep trying until the gas is out!

I am day 2 as well but the only thing didn't hit me yet was the gas. But my legs hurt a Lil more than usual.

I'm struggling with the liquids as well. I had my surgery yesterday and I feel great just my legs hurt. The gas haven't hit me yet but I'm sure it will.

I just had my surgery 12 hours ago and I feel pretty good. At check in the nurses gave me a sea sick patch you put behind your and that helped a lot! After surgery upon waking from surgery I had a hard time breathing on my own after be under sedation. Felt like I was trying to breath through a straw but it did get easier over 30 minutes or so in. I have a sore raspy voice. Pain meds I'm on are dilaudid but that made me itch like crazy so they switched to torodol. Weird thing is I've been hungry all day. I can have ice chips and I had to swallow a pill with a tiny amount of Water and I've had zero nausea and tiny bit of incision pain. I do wish I could pass gas because that is uncomfortable. I also have the bed setting up a medium amount because that seems to help my discomfort. I'm going home after a night in hospital because I'm just not getting rest here. I have the gastric stomach test in the AM to check for leaks, will eat broth for first time in the afternoon and if I can tolerate that I can go home. Don't sweat the surgery y'all. I was stressing myself out and it wasn't that bad. Flu feels much much worse. Lucky me, I get to go home to 15 out of town in law family that are here for my daughters graduation and I'm throwing a party this Saturday with a ton of yummy food I can't eat???? Now that is pain! Lol

Good luck to everyone! ????
