anasthesia Waking up from Surgery. Any Tips?

[amo4714412@aol.com 7]

Believe it or not I did not feel anything after surgery they said that I would be drinking small amount of liquid I was asking for more drink when they added the grape juice. For a while I questioned if I had the surgery I saw the marks but no pain or any aftermath. So I guess I was one of the lucky ones. For those who are wanting to cheat and eat some of your old food, do it and just take a bit however if you over do it you will not want that type of food anymore. I was craving fried chicken breast and chopped BBQ. Ate less that a half of the breast and two forks of BBQ and I was done and that was too much so I know my limits and that is something everyone will need to learn and train your brain

Walk as much as possible. It will help with the nausea. I walked all around the hospital. Every twenty minutes. It makes you strong. Good luck to you.

Ask for all the warm blankets to hold against your belly. I tried not to bother my nurses. I know how busy they were but then one realized that my IV moved into my muscle and not my vain so that was a problem. . . Remind them that they’re awesome—they are and it’ll be a better stay for you as well. As soon as you feel you can, get up and walk as much as you can to deal with the gas pain.

As a Registered Nurse, I can tell you that means a lot.
