Well home but feeling flu like almost skin sensitive to touch super cold... Been able to drink 6 oz of fluid at least and had 4 oz of chicken broth and couple small bites of jello sf, trying protein shake half of ... My stomach is super sore and painful. Don't feel really gas like just pain. And find drain odd and hurts around so bad. Can I use heating pad?

Feel better soon

A heating pad helped me so much! I am 5 days post op. Didn't have gas until like day 2 night then shoulders and back was awful! Walking and heating pad helped. Sip and walk my friend! I chilled and was sore to touch the first coupke if days. Flu like almost as u said. Dr said very normal.

And so very sleepy

Welcome home and congrats! You are doing great! Yes! The heating pad will be your best friend!

I have a heated throw and I am wearing it out. Funny, I am a week out and I have been cold since the surgery. Sit under that heated throw every time I sit down! My little dog just snuggles right up against me and off he goes!
