Thanks guys.. I did not give in to my cereal "wants". I will hold off until I can eat solids.

sorry you had such pain...I have read on here when others have stuck issues they go back to soft foods for a day or so to let swelling go down...hope your feeling better...

Sorry u r hurting. R u out of pain meds?

yes i had the same problem. my pains went away within about 2-3 weeks. give it time it will go away ..You are still healing just take it easy..

I had my surgery on 03/12/12 and I too was ina great deal of pain after. I found that if i laid in bed, i would lay on baout 4 pillows, a couple under my knees to sorta prop them up and I supported my stomach with pillows as well. I found that helped me get in a comfortable enough position so that I wasnt in pain. About 10 days post op, I pulled the facia muscle right where my port is which threw me into some excrutiating pain. Take your pain meds, play around with positioning, try pillows to support the areas you feel the pain. I hope you get to feeling better soon!

Yeah, I had that pain too, when getting up or getting into a laying position. It was completely gone at day 7. Also adding that I agree ^^ supporting the belly with pillows (or a heating pad) significantly helps with that feeling. It'll be gone soon though! Good luck!
