Can I have sugar free Popsicles if I had surgery 3 days ago? My mouth is so dry.

My doctor considered them clear liquids but every doctor is different so you might want to call and check.

How did your surgery go? How are you feeling now?

My doc gave them to me right after surgery.

They were my first thing other than water that I had post op

I was told yes by doctor and it counts towards fluids

I had them right after getting home from the hospital! I still enjoy them at 4 months out. It is kind of nice to in the evening.....

It went great. They sent me home early like the next day . I was walking. Peeing "poopoo" lol now I'm on oxycodone and my body is itching like my incisions . I might need to see the doc. Unless its normal?? Lol I feel good also. How do you feel?

OMGosh...that's soooooooooooo awesome aylalinngren! Silly question, but do they want you to poop before you leave the hospital? Peeing won't be a problem for me since I could go every 5 mins (TMI?? Sorry!) I'm thinking your incisions are itching because they're healing? So very happy for you! Please keep us informed on how you're progress is going post op!

You may be having an allergic reaction to the surgical tape if its your incisions that itch or a side effect from the Medicine if its your body that itches.

congrats on your surgery! itching is a common side effect of narcotics--I had it too.

My surgeon likes to hear bowel sounds before you are discharged (well it's not like he really enjoys the sounds personally, but you know what I mean--he wants the nurses to confirm that your bowels are starting to do what they are supposed to do). But you don't necessarily have to go beforehand.

Silly question, but do they want you to poop before you leave the hospital?

My doctor didn't require it. I hadn't eaten anything in the previous 72 hours, so there wasn't much chance of that happening!

My doc likes bowel sounds so much - he bought the album!

I had them day 2 in the hospital!

Lol I Peed right away and they called me the next day and I had popped. That was like the one thing they were worried about. But yeah I'm good. Everything's going great. I lost 4 lbs since Monday. So 55 total since I started the whole process(:

lol now that is funny..... My Dr did not even listen and I did not have any action for 12 days ..... Oh my that was not fun. However, now that the plumbing is working well I am a happy camper!
