3 Days Post Op

By Melissa A-D

· 135 views

Okay, so it has been three days since my surgery. I find that I am not hungry at all. I force myself to eat sugar free popsicles and broth. I have had a little soreness but I am most concerned about the gas. I did not seem to have problems with gas until yesterday when my shoulder and neck started hurting and have not stopped. I have been up and about so I am not really sure what else I can do. I read that the gas relief stuff does not really help with this type of gas...even my surgeon told me the same thing...so I guess I just have to smile through it for now. I am happy that I had the surgery but worried that I may never want to eat again! So scared of getting sick or hurting that I avoid eating at all costs.:frown:

    Hi Melissa. I had surgery on May 28. I have not been really hungry either and have had the same neck and shoulder pain. The liquid lortab really helped with that as well as the tenderness at my port site. My problem is not so much gas as it is a seriously noisy belly. Every time I take a sip of something it goes crazy. Have you experienced that? I am just wondering how I will go back to work tomorrow making so much noise. LOL
