Wow had my surgery Wednesday at 10:00A, stayed one night and came home yesterday evening, no regrets yet, lots of pain and soreness, but I got to sleep all nite, my chest pain went away think it was gas, only problem u am having is to keep from taking big swigs of water, no appetite yet, everything is too sweet right now, but I have a good thirst, so happy I did it!!!!!!?

it will get better - stay hydrated and try to get on OTC pain meds as soon as possible. move around and you will feel better.

Yeah I'm trying to hold off on my pain mess til I need them, but I'm so thirsty

My surgery was Wednesday too -- 730 a.m. but I just got home today. Sorry to hear you are in pain. Try sipping slowly. I heard that helps. And take those pain meds -- no point in waiting if you are in pain. A little tylenol might help. Wishing you the best.

Sorry I misspoke, the pain is very manageable here at home, so I don't need the pain mess as much, in fact I told them Thursday morning to take me off morphine and put me on my pain mess, it's the thirst and strong desire to open up a bottle of cold water and chug that is the problem, I keep sipping and expelling and I even called the Dr.' Office, they said I am doing everything right, but I think it's because I was a very big water drinker these last few years, especially after letting go of sodas, and energy drinks, but hey if that's the worst of my symptoms I can count myself as lucky and I can work with it!!!!!!

I only took prescribed meds for a couple of days and that was at night. Over the counter during the day. prescription drugs made me too sleepy
