Sore after surgery

[shellyk018 30]

Hello! I’m about 3 days post op and feeling pretty good! I have some weird soreness that I’m wondering if anyone else had? My calves are super sore- not unbearable by any means it just seems weird to me? And also when I wake up my throat is sore? Are these just some weird side effects of being in bed too long?

Congratulations on a successful surgery.

My doctor told me that after surgery my throat might be sore from the breathing tube and instrument they inserted during surgery. I also had on a leg compressor, if you did that could be the cause of your soreness in your calves.

My throat was sore from the tube during surgery. I kept some mints on hand and it really helped. I’m a week out now and the soreness it totally gone.

after surgery i really could not eat much.. you could be feeling weak from lack of calories or you blood sugar going to a level your not use to...

I’m 3 days post op and I’m experiencing diarrhea and chest pains when I breathe in hard

The only pain have is where he pulled my stomach out. It is so sore and tender! I’m going to ask how big it was and did he pull anything else out 🤣 I also have the gas pains in my chest. Those are getting better.

by the end of week 4 you will feel like you never had surgery....

Yes, My throat was horrible from the tube. I sucked on ice a couple days and popsicles. Keep it moist. Are you drinking anything like Gatorade Zero? I was feeling a little bad and it really helped me. Good luck to you and hope you feel better soon. Oh, if you don't have a bowel movement soon take some Mirilax. I wish I knew. Day 5 was horrible and it did not need to be. All good now tho.
