Ok everyone since we are getting close to December I figured I would go ahead and start us up a post op thread

Headed to ER. I'll check in later.

I'm happy your getting help. I hope you will feel better. Good luck and keeps us informed

Hey everyone I just noticed today my side hurt..I realized that under my sergical stitch looks infected. The des office is closed. I'm going to go in the morning should I do anything in the meantime?

I would put neosporin on it.

Hope the ER helps Jodie! I only get 32 oz of water in. I don't feel dehydrated. I try to do more but so hard.

DOS 12/17/12

In ER getting iv fluids. Never thought I'd be so happy to get poked with a needle!

If I don't get better, I'll be there tomorrow night. But I had 90oz of fluids today, not counting Popsicles, lol. I had about 6 of them. 90oz fluids not including 48g protein. How the heck did I do it????

Fell better Jodi :-)

I just don't know how you are dehydrated. You are doing awesome with your water and protein intake. Good Luck, Gen!

My doc office suggested the sugar free energy drinks to get the electrolytes. You may be flushing them all out with so much water.

Wash with liquid antibacterial soap and rinse in the shower. Pat dry then let air dry. Call your surgeon when they open and get it checked out.

I have been needing to nap in the afternoon. Anyone else getting fatigued like that?

Girl, I have taken a nap everyday post op! I am not a nap person, but I get worn out. The other day I fell asleep at 2 and woke up when it was dark outside. Your body is running a marathon inside as it heals. Your systems are working crazy hard to heal up all the cutting and stitching inside. Take your nap. I'm sure the fatigue will go as our bodies heal.

I'm 18 days po and I've started having these sharp pains in my side when I bend a certain way. Now it hurts there when I urinate, laugh, take a deep breath, even stand from sitting. It all started after my last bm. Anyone else have this? I'm thinking of heading to the er later today. I'm so tired of taking pain meds ugh!! Sorry to vent but this really frustrates me!

It's ok to vent. Many of us have on here. I'm glad your going to have it checked out. I haven't had the pain, sorry you are. I hope it's not serious. Keep us informed. Best wishes.
