The fist week is tough I spent about three night in a recliner. Every day gets better I had diherrea for two weeks I’m still working on that I think it gets better when you start regular food

I don’t have a recliner so it’s a struggle cuz I have like 6 pillows and I’m constantly rearranging myself trying to get comfy. Luckily the diarrhea was only an issue yesterday and I’m 9 days out. Today is still questionable lol

Wow...I am super sore today. My surgeon had to fix a huge hiatal hernia. So I’m super sore. Hard to get a deep breath. Walking sipping. I’m so glad it’s over though!

April is here!!! Mine is 4/28. I can't believe I only have 25 days. It's coming up quick. I'm so nervous and extremely excited. What's everyone packing for the hospital?

I had my surgery on 4/21. So far I feel good. Sore but walking like a champ! My abdominal binder and heating pad are my best friends.

Im on day two of not having to take pain meds. Gas drops work wonders to help with that. I’m dying to eat real food. But I know it’s a process.

Hi It gets so much better I’m almost 4 weeks I can eat everything just very little and I like that part it’s a much rougher road then I thought it was gonna be

How long did you wait before you tried the puréed and mushy foods?

Im not gonna push it, I’m too paranoid. But I like knowing how others progressed.

Oh lord I’m still taking both my pain meds and muscle relaxer. But this hernia repair hurts like crazy!

I wish I had thought about taking my muscle relaxer and I wish someone had told me about a binder ahead of time because I think that would have helped me tremendously. On a positive note I finally got to lay down for the first time since having my surgery on the 15th. It felt wonderful! Hope everyone feels better soon

I had my surgery 4-16 and today I was allowed to have eggs and mushy things. I was allowed to have sf Jello and pudding on full liquid diet this whole past week. I understand what you mean about pushing it. I made 1 scrambled egg and only ate half of it. Listen to your body.

I am still on Clear Liquids and I feel like all I am drinking is Water and Protein but I can not get them all down they have to be split up. I am just so blah today...

It gets better! The first few days I was uncomfortable but I’m about 3 weeks out now and I can tell you it does get better. I think physically I felt much better about a week out. Everyone’s different but definitely staying hydrated was key I think.

This maybe to much info, but today is day 11 post OP and I was finally able to have a decent BM. I was so excited I woke my husband up. Lol
