valgirl 0 Posted October 6, 2009 When I went home today (about 4pm) the nurse gave me some little medicine cups and said I could slowly sip Water out of them tonight. I'm doing fine with that, but I'm starving, so I had a sugar free popsicle. I did fine with that and now I want another lol. Is that ok? Will I somehow over do it on my first night? I'm probably being silly but I am so scared I'll screw things up lol. Thanks in advance! Val Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gatorgal 0 Posted October 6, 2009 I had to stay overnight when I had surgery in June (as per insurance policy), and SF popsicles were on my tray for every meal. I'd say you're fine sucking on them today and tomorrow. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
valgirl 0 Posted October 6, 2009 Thank you that makes me feel so much better. I figured they didn't mean for me to just have Water all day but I was too groggy to ask lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Humming Bird 275 Posted October 6, 2009 The popsicles and very cold ice Water will help keep the swelling down. Stay with the very cold stuff. I also kept an ice pack on my stomach off and on for longer than they said and I think it really helped. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
