You taking your antacids daily?

No! I wasn't told to. I'll try that. How long did your doctor say to do that?

Which ones did your doctor put you on? I had them for 8 days, but I think I need them longer. I can't get what he gave me here. I had my surgery out of the country.

One week post op today and I've been doing great. Today I have the headache from hell. I rarely get headaches and this is kicking my butt. I'm still on clear liquids. Anyone else having headaches?

I hope ur headaches go away soon.

I'm so glad to hear everyone is doing so well!! I've been drinking 2 oz of blue PowerAde every hour since 8:30. It's all I can do to get that down! I have a spirometer that I have to use 10 times an hour. And I've walked three times today. The pain is a little worse now than before b/c I'm off Morphine and on Loritab. I don't like the way the Loritab feels on my "old" stomach. I'l get through! I have to remember why I'm doing it.

Hi Kathy, glad to hear you are doing well. I wasn't given anything to drink until day 3 which was the same day they took me off the morphine because it made me sooooooo sleepy, LOL. I am still doing the breathing exercises at home, honestly not on the hour, but I can take deep breaths whenever I want so I guess my lungs are doing great. Wishing you a speedy recovery and congrats on taking a seat on the losers bench!!! :D
