Pain meds really helped and I walked the halls of the hospital every 30 minutes, two laps. I think walking was the key.

yea i had buyers remorse moment also i asked myslef what didi i do why did i do it. but each day you will feel better hang in there

Thank u all so much I can't wait till its over

I didn't have any pain and could get up to walk but I hated to drink because it felt so weird. I had a really bad head ache and every time I stood up I would gag and dry heave. It was horrible but once I started drinking more the next day I felt better. Hang in there. It has been a week and a half for me and I am doing good.

This gas is unbearable makes me so miserable even walking doesn't help.. Grrrrr I just wanna scream

I hope your dr. Gave you an Rx for nausea &gas. If not, I'd ask for one. It is a pill that dissolves under my tongue. It helped a lot! Get some rest and use your pain meds. I believe if you can keep pain under control, you are able to heal quicker. I'm 4 days post op and feel so much better. You'll get there...hang on!

Do you have access to a heating pad? That sometimes help. Day 2 I wanted to die. I had dry heaves and intense gas in my shoulder, where i also have arthritis. I was in h**l. But......because I read on here what happened with other people i refused to have buyers remorse. I walked and slept. Didnt drink bcs nurses wanted my tummy to settle and I was getting enough fluid IV.

Hang in there!

I agree w Meseee......take advantage of all the pain meds! Ask for a sleeping pill tonite if you can't sleep.
