Liquid Pre-opt Diet - Day 5

OK.... so let me start off by saying I can't wait for the surgery. It's so important to me. But this diet is kicking my butt a bit. Today is day five and I'm sick of these protein shakes. I would do anything for a piece of steak. LOL!

 

Tuesday is the big day. Can't wait. However; does anyone have any real advice for the few days after surgery? What made you comfortable? How much pain where you in, etc.? Any information from people who have gone through it would be great.

 

Thank you!

I was expected recovery to be worse than it actually was. I was sore, but no real pain, BUT I did take my pain meds on time the first few days. I'm 5 days post op and going back to work tomorrow. I could probably have went back a few days ago, but decided to take it slow.

Take all the drugs you can...I dont know why there are so many people trying tough it out and not take the drugs!

I woke up from surgery in an abdominal binder and I wore it for a week...it really tucked in my gut and held it in place especially for sleeping. If you are not getting one at surgery go get one at a drugstore! Its just a wide white band of elastic and velcro...kind of like a corset!
