Ice Packs!!
There were many moments after surgery when I started to feel light headed and nauseous. Thankfully, I knew enough to ask for an ice pack and place it on the back of my neck. (learned this when I got light headed once giving blood) Worked like a charm and stopped me from being naus. (I did not want to throw up!!) I kept it with me at all times in the hospital and the first couple of days at home. It also helped me to soothe the Migraines I got from the morphine!
Just wanted to share that tip because it was a huge help to me.

After about four days I felt better and was driving as soon as I was off the pain meds about five days out. Best wishes.

Hi, my surgery was last Wed. (Jan. 9th) and I started feeling pretty good yesterday. I'm off my pain meds and sleeping well. Everyone's different, so it's hard to compare. Good luck!

I bought the roasted chickens in the grocery store and peeled the skin off and then peeled off all the meat. Measured and weighed out two ounces, put in the food processor with chicken broth and/or a bit of olive oil mayo and then seasoned to taste! Delish! I also steamed big batches of cauliflower and made mock mashed potatoes with them. One ounce of the mock mashed potatoes and 2 ounces of chicken was a divine meal!
