I'm only 8 days out but am totally MISERABLE. I have spasms constantly. Deep stomach aches, nausea. Will anything ever feel comfortable going down again (food, drink)?? And how long will that be?? I can't take much more

Well welcome to the healing stage! Everyone is different but you should start to feel better soon, if not we would be a HUGE group of miserable people! I hurt for sure but I didn't have any spasms or anything like that. If you think it's getting worse call your surgeon. @@brandeett I know it sucks but It won't last forever.

Everyday things will get better you should notice a difference next week. Its not gonna all get better at once but slowly over time. If you don't feel you are healing and progressively getting better by next week talk to your doctor. This feeling won't last forever.

Hang in there! It's going to get better soon. You can do it

Have you talked to your surgeon?

Yes I have talked to my surgeon. He said I may be healing slower than normal. Put my vitamins on hold for another week.
