If they gave you zofran for nausea, it may be a side effect of Zifran. Zofran can cause blurry vision. It is not permanent though.

11 days post op from Bypass with Hernia surgery. Yesterday was the first day with minimal pain. I have to admit I’ve definitely been sneaking some (very) small portions of food in here and there, even though I start purées on Wednesday, and my body has had no issues keeping down anything! It gives me more energy and makes me feel a lot better. The only thing that still bothers me is I still have a lot of gas… and I can’t sleep well at night because I sleep on my side. I am SO sick of sleeping on my back. Good luck to everyone’s recoveries!!

Same. My "official" start date for soft foods is Wed, but I've been testing the waters gently. I did mess up and eat a little egg and some diet lemonade from Chick Fil A. Not sure if it was the egg, or the lemonade, which I forgot had pulp, but I had about 3-4 small bites of egg, and a few tiny sips of lemonade (I had dry throat, so broke the rule) and it did not stay down at all. But I've done some mashed potatoes, a little oatmeal, a little cheese, cottage cheese, and those have seemed to be fine. For me too the actual food has made me feel better physically, and less exhausted.

I'm only 6 days since surgery and my incisions are healed the clear luquid bandage they put on there has peeled off. You can call I have a 24 hour number to call if need be

Mine said 3-4 weeks. It's hot as hades here in AL too, and I'm with you on wanting to swim.

Good to know I’m not alone , but sorry you are in pain. I’m taking hydrocodone for pain. I had outpatient surgery and I’m only taking a quarter of a pill or so.
