Post OP....How did you feel 72 hours post op??



Recommended Posts

WendyMary:

I'm just 24 hours post op and I'm feeling great! My stomach just feels like I've done about 10,000 crunches though :thumbup:

I've only taken my prescribed pain medicine once, and I have liquid Tylenol if I need a little something. I don't want to take my pain medicine unless it's absolutely necessary.

No gas pains so far, and I'm hoping it stays that way!

I'm not sure how old you are, I'm 27, and my doctor said that may help my recovery go a little smoother. So far I have no complaints!

I'd say if you're feeling as good as I do 24 hours after surgery, you'll be good to go 72 hours after. Given you take some pain medicine and do what the doctor says.

Good luck to you! This is an amazing journey.

If you have any other questions feel free to PM me :thumbup:

Sincerely,

Maggie

Hi WendyMary,

I promised to report back to you at 72 hours. That was this morning for me. I feel much better today and stopped taking my Vicadin because I wanted to get out and go shopping. I took a 25 minute walk without problem. My incisions are sore but are not throbbing. I usually only feel them after just standing up from a sitting or lying down position. They do, however, hurt when I go to the bathroom or laugh. This makes me worry about you at a funeral. The same muscles used for laughing are used for crying too, I think. I suggest, regardless of how you feel 72 hours out, take pain medication before the funeral.

Let me know how it goes for you. Again, sorry for your loss.

Jill

I'm glad to hear your feeling better Jill. I will be careful and I feel so much better about my decision to go forward. Thanks for your help.

Hi everyone,

Just a quick post to let everyone know that surgery went well. I had about a one hour stay in recovery and the worst of the pain was the shoulder, but that has subsided. Thanks to all for all your support. I will post and keep you updated and let you know how I do on Wed. Thanks.......WendyMary

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
