Hi All

Surgery was Thursday....there's no other way to say it...it was misery. For almost 24 hours I was in horrible pain and couldn't get ANYTHING down, not even the littlest sip of water....I was beyond nauseous... the gas-x strips and mouthspray would also make me throw up....not that there anything to throw up....but mouth would water and I'd dry heave. I reacted this way to the littlest thing touching my lips or in my mouth. I kept telling my nurse how miserable I was along with horrible pain in my stomach....She would say, it could be the pain medication that's making you nauseous...ok, so I stopped pushing my pain meds. She comes in later and says how's your pain? I said horrible and she says " well that's because you aren't using your pain medication!". Well duh! I made her call my doc at 1am. He came in early this morning and said, let's change the meds. It was a miracle! Within 20 mins I was able to sip water, Ice chips and broth and have been feeling good ever since. They had me stay 1 more night. Its amazing how the wring pain killer (for me) can make you So Miserable.

I'm a different person today and so happy to be feeling good.

Omg I was the same they had me on dilaudid and it made me so sick!!! Once they changed it I felt so much better!!! Good luck to u!!

I am so sorry you had such a horrid first day. Glad Dr Braverman set you straight.

Remember to sip often (I used a shot glass of g2 gatorade) every 15 minutes to get in that all important liquids to stay hydrated. Hydration and rest above all else.

Hugs to you!

Glad to hear that your feeling better! I wasn't allowed anything to drink for the first 24hrs. I Didnt mind, I slept for most of it anyway. Get home and get well!

Glad to great you are feeling better. Make sure you ask for some nausea meds you can take at home to help.

Wishing you a speedy recovery...you'll feel better when you get home!!!

Meant "glad to hear you are feeling better"...silly auto correct on my phone!!

Sorry for that tough experience, but glad you are better now.

Speedy and painless recovery.
