That was my experience exactly! Congrats. The oxy is great. I took it round the clock even if the pain was fine because once it flares up you want to die. I stopped about 3 days after I got home and then took it once or twice at night only. My only advice is don't overdo movement even when you feel good. I definitely have been and I am sooooo sore by the end of the day Lol. I'm two weeks post op!

Plain protein powder in ice cold water with crystal light is great! Protein and fluid.

I'm Two weeks out and my incisions are all scabbed and good. I sleep on my side I can RolL over gingerly. I only took a week off I feel like I had to hut the ground running. I'm basically back to full speed just get tired faster. I had a quick recovery

I wait to make sure I don't intake too much too fast. I am 2 weeks post op and can swallow all protein shakes and have started on pured foods. Go st your own pace with your docs advice.

Ditto! chew chew chew and don't eat foods that are too hard to begin with, I have felt them get stuck even with extensive chewing. I have the full feeling now, I haven't gotten uncomfortably full, just a one or two bite too much full, it's a learning curve for sure.

I went back to school exactly one week after. It was hard, I was very tired and sitting was uncomfortable. I am currently 1.5 weeks out and feel pretty good, I am back to my daily activities. It depends on your pain tolerance and any complications that occurred. I could have done well with 2 full weeks off and been fine. I was clawing the walls during the one week but was still pretty tired after normal tasks like going to the bathroom. My side stitch is still tight so I have to be careful because it can get pretty sore with too much movement.

I hear ya. I just wanted to take my mom.put to my fave food places and couldn't and felt so defeated but that's how I got here, place so much emphasis on food. We will eat again...soon Lol n

yes. Gas strips. Two at a time, one after another and it helps. Burp burp burp. I started feeling them in my shoulder. Took a good three days for them to work them all out. Hang in there!

try nectar flavorless in water with crystal light. There's barely any taste, maybe a slight scent of the powder but that may help from the sweet shakes

Eating too few calories can prevent weight loss. I am in the same boat but just congratulate myself when no have a good day and try to remember this is a learning curve. Crying also helps Lol

May 19th, a lot of fatigue and side pain from the largest incision. Had two episodes of dumping from dairy but otherwise slow and steady!

Oatmeal, weight control with lactaod milk BC I'm intolerant. I split it in two meals. Egg whites, finely minced chicken with overcooked rice Lol. Anything that can be chewed to death. Avoid things with skin though. Enjoy!

Stay on the meds and nausea meds round the clock even if you aren't nauseous or in a pot of pain. It helps tremendously

Call them now. I had diarrhea for two days and called and their suggestions cleared it right up. Don't wait, they are experts. In the hospital I was dehydrated and told them and they pumped me with fluids right away. Don't prolong your agony Lol

Chew until is dead and take at least 15-20 mins to eat. I felt the same way but its trial and error. You have to eat lol
