3 days Post op

Well it's almost 3 in the morning so I guess I'm 3 days post op now. My surgery went really well.

It was funny because I read how everyone says their not hungry after surgery for a few days. Well here's me in the recovery room and the first words out of my mouth are "I'm hungry!"LOL I think what I was really feeling was gas pains!

My roomie was a girl (Surgery4Me) I meant on here in the August forums, that was so awesome because I totally felt that I had know her for awhile!

As far as how I'm feeling. I'm feeling pretty good. I have the same gas issue's everyone has but, it's not to bad. I have stopped taken my pain meds as for they were giving me migraine's! Most of my day today and yesterday were in bed because of it. That part has been awful! It even caused me to do some scary dry heaves when I was in the hospital. I was supposed to get of there on Thursday at 11:00 but, I was not aloud to leave until after 12:30 because I had to make sure I could keep my protein down.

I have not lost any weight yet I have actually gain about 4 lbs my body is holding on to the liquids and I can still feel the swelling in my stomach as well as the gas! So I'm not too worried about it yet. It's going to come off!

My Doctor did a great job with his incisions...I don't think I'm going to have bad scars at all! I'm so happy about that!!:frown:

Well, I'm going back to bed. I will write more later.

Glad to hear you're doing ok Cutie! That is so cool you and Surgery4me were in there together!!

How're you going without the pain meds?? I am worried about my reaction to them and I will be asking that they avoid morphine, etc because I VOMIT on them!

So glad to see it is over!!! Congratulations and it gets so much easier in the next few days!

Too funny...as I was laying in bed after i got home all I could think about was what my hubby could run out get me to eat. Guess i'll blame that on the pain meds.I've stopped taking them because of headaches. I think the most pain comes from the gas and my doc said I could have Mayloxx.

Thanks I'm so glad it's over with too! I didn't get the morphine either because I vomitd on that after I had one of my baby boys (I couldn't remember which one!).

Glad to hear you are doing well! :frown:
