Just got home from hospital



Recommended Posts

The day/night of surgery and the following 2 days were pretty awful for me. Then the third day out, everything rapidly started getting better.

Take your pain pills regularly during those first few days. I couldn't have gotten through it without them. (And I took them every 4 hours religiously those days.)

Now, at 8 days post-op, I am feeling pretty good. I get tired very easily, and I have to remember that my body is still in a fragile state (especially when I want to pick something up or bend over).

Good luck and feel better!

@@TammyMMD Take the meds as prescribed - even if you think you feel better. Once you get to the point where they wear off - it's very hard to catch up to the pain again. Be sure to walk alot - get rid of the gas pains and use a heating pad. I'm sure it's good to be home!!!

Drink your water!! At about 10 days out I thought I was Super Woman and over did it. Ended up in the ER and 3 bags of IV.

I got home from the hospital yesterday, in a lot of pain as well. The pain meds work, but I throw up sometimes after I take it bc it doesn't sit well with my stomach. Hoping it all passes soon. I barely can drink or eat Soup. hurts going down

      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.
