Other than the stuff above. You may want to take a robe since you'll be walking the halls. I would ask the nurse to saline lock my iv so I could use my robe and walk comfortably. And I also bought a clip on desk fan at target for $10 ( it's with the dorm stuff). It was an incredible idea. I clipped it onto the side rail so it could blow in my face. The pain meds made me really hot. As well as when the anesthesia was wearing off and when I started drinking Water I would get nauseas... The fan helped. I also asked the nurse to leave me several alcohol pads in the room. Smelling it when you feel nauseas really helps. I would carry alcohol pads with me when I was walking the halls (started doing this after I gor nauseas walking and had to stop at a random nurse's station and ask her for some).
Good luck!

At least you were at a gathering... I feel like I need to start seeing the therapist to work on how I deal with food and my marriage. I feel like you felt pretty much everytime my husband eats. I about died a few days ago when he was going to make 4 corn dogs. I don't want to be the food police so I know I need to learn to deal with this.

The mineral oil enema didn't seem to really help, but the mag citrate seems to be doing the trick little by little. I'm already feeling better. Still bloated, but that will pass when everything passes.

Thanks everyone! I'll be picking up some mag citrate and a fleet's enema today. Hopefully I can just make it through the day without any issues. I feel much better, although the milk of mag hasn't really worked.

Soooo the lady at walgreens looked at me like I was crazy. I spent $30 on poop things. I got magnesium citrate, mineral oil enema, saline fleet enemas, Miralax, and fiber chews.... Add to that the milk of magnesia and glycerin suppositories my hubby got me yesterday. I'm desperate y'all! Hope this works. Thank you all for all your tips and advice.
Lots of Love!

Left side pain could be gas. Get some GasX strips and if not better by morning, call your surgeon. Of course, if you have a fever, or the pain is severe, go to ER.

When in doubt, call your surgeons office. It could be a pulled internal stitch or something as simple as a gas bubble. If you don't feel better by morning I would make a call. A heating pad might be helpful.
Good luck.
