No antibiotics... They gave me like 3 full bags in the hospital . I stayed overnight. I'm on liquid pain meds and nausea meds.

Do you have shoulder pain they talk about?

Do you have shoulder pain they talk about?

I haven't experienced that yet . I've been passing the gas by walking as much as I can. I just took my pain meds. I this it's all kicking in now. I've been on my liquid diet. It's a lil hard to get all my broth down .

Day 2 Post Op

Pain meds was a life saver ! I slept and woke up and walked through the night . I don't have an appetite at all. But I have to eat something. I can't get too much down. One piece of advice is to sip not gulp!!!!!

Gas is not excruciating but it's there... I'm just walking walking walking ! Like they said !

Good to hear you are doing so well! Keep it up!

Thank you! I'm just ready for the soreness to go away and I can start walking in the gym. I'm still a bit confused on my diet . I'm getting a long quite well. Getting out of the bed by myself and fixing my own food. I am going thru an emotional ride hoping that I have as much success as the other people...

Did you have to get staples?

No staples. They have this new thing where it's sterile kind of stitches that fall off as u heal .
