  1. I switched to Tylenol this morning because I am feeling better, I still need something because my port site is extremely swollen. its not infected but Dr thinks it has fluid around it. In the future I am asking for liquid meds!!
  2. I'm 3 days post opt. When I try to take my percocet I need to use liquid and a gulp to get it down. They said cut in 4 pieces so its a few ouncesto get it down. I tried crushing and put in pudding but that made,me nauseas. How did u take ur pain pill?
  3. I am on day 3, I was allowed mushy before leaving the hospital but was told start one to two ounces, not more than 4, maybe just a little to much soup? Apple juice also upsets my stomach, even before surgery. Give the feeling time to pass, then maybe start slower
