Yesterday was tough as I couldn't get my meds down without cutting it into pieces. sleeping on and off yesterday made last night hard to sleep. Today I'm off the meds just taking ibuprofen and staying awake. Mainly sore at the incisions. I haven't eaten much only got thru a bowl of broth since yesterday. Found I don't like muscle milk bluck :-( about to try pure Protein shake.

For those who are where I was two days ago (pre-op) I will say yes there is pain, but its bearable. Have help there with u if at all possible. Someone to fetch and assist you will be valuable getting thru that first day.

Ahhhh I'm now a Bandster!!

I havent had any nausea yet (knock on wood), but i still have the patch behind my ear since before surgery, and at home i'm taking 4mg of Zofran every 6 hrs..

Yeah - I picked up my prescriptions, and Zofran is one of them. I hope the patch is standard operating procedure. I don't deal well with nausea; would rather have a root canal

My dr put on an anti nausea patch on and also prescribed phenergan suppositories.

I am so nauseated right now. Took meds for that but its not helping.

Try drinking mint tea. It's a natural anti-nausea.

Walk as much as you can. Try to get up every hour and walk. That will really help with the gas pain.

Drinking plenty of water helps too, it's best to do water, walk and gas-x all together.
