I’m doing so much better today. I’m post op day 8. I’m able to sleep on my side some now. Every day I hurt a bit less and get more range of motion back.

Tomorrow I go back on full liquids and I can’t wait to eat a damn yogurt and some Soup. I’m getting better bit by bit and it helps to read the posts of those that came before and have been through it.

Thanks again.

Oh no, still in pain? 😳😬 must be that hernia repair you had along side the surgery. Most of us don’t have any pain much less at day 8. Ide say maybe call your surgeon, but if it’s lessening everyday then your body is just taking time to heal but its still healing. I’m sorry. That may be discouraging.

As for diet, you’ll be to pureeds before ya know it💕 Do you know what pureeds your going to eat and what to buy for your Puréed stage? A suggestion, (I’m sure you heard of it..) but it’s called Shellys Ricotta Bake. Its sooo yummy for pureeds & many of us got by with that recipe. I ate it everyday! 😂😂 when your not sleepy maybe try & look up some recipes & that should help. I know for me during recovery when I wasn’t done sleeping I was planning for my next stage to keep focused on something.

Im sorry I’m not much help. I hope you continue to have better sleep at night with sleeping on your side though. What a relief to sleep on your side again!l👌🏼

Take care, sleep sleep sleep💕 hugs, Jennifer

By the way, for those of you seeking out Gas X Strips for post surgical gas....it appears they have discontinued that product so supplies are limited. I couldn't get any online or in store at a pharmacy (or Amazon). I had to go to EBay. There is still a question if my order is going to ship or if this seller will be the second one to have run out.

I got gas x strips off Amazon (6 boxes) last week. Cost me $60 or so. They didn’t have any less, only a pack of 6 but I scooped them up since they aren’t in store anymore

Yes that's right! I forgot that they DO have them in large quantities, just not the smaller ones. Thanks for posting that!
