Welcome to the loser's bench. Sorry you have some pain. Echoing that each day does get better. Please remember to sip often - at least every 15 minutes and walk around.

Hugs and cheers for you!

Congrats on your surgery! I'm just 9 days out, so my experience is very fresh. I too didn't have any pain the first day, but I felt worse the second through 4th day. Part of that is due to the effects of anesthesia that first day, as well as the pain meds they give you. I was reluctant to utilize my pain meds much, because I don't like the woozy feeling, but it is probably best to stay ahead of the pain.

I had trouble getting comfortable to sleep. And it was very hard to get anything down at all. I ended up sucking on ice a lot and just ate what I could. I couldn't fathom how anyone would get 64 oz of anything down ever again! (I'm still not quite at 64 oz per day, but my dr. says it usually takes a little bit more time to get there.) I did find that warm things went down easier, like broth. Still, it was just sips for me and I was full.

When I got home, I still couldn't sleep well. I found adult liquid tylenol and got that down, which helped. I didn't use the narcotics though -- just didn't like them at all. I'm doing really well and feeling better every day.

Hang in there; it does pass! Do let the nurses/drs know how your are feeling. (They are probably asking you about your pain level all the time with those little smiling/frowny faces anyway).

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
