I finally had a bm!! Lol

And im starting to feel nauseous in the morning. Ive been drinking my shakes half a cup in the morning and the other half in the afternoon. Jello is not going down so good but my broth is. Did anyone get pain meds? How are you taking them i got prescribed percocet, can we swallow the pill or do we have to crush them. My largest incision is hurting a lot but when does it stop hurting?? Do you think ill be able to go out for thanksgiving day??

Hope all of you are doing good. We have made it this far keep up the good work!!!

I have Norco - but I haven't needed it the past few days. When I was taking it though I did not crush it up. It was fine.

I am a week tomorrow and my largest incision still hurts but it is a little less sore every day.

I went to the grocery store today and did a full shopping trip. My husband did all the heavy lifting but I don't see why you couldn't go out on thanksgiving.

Just see how you feel. Good luck.

Good morning everyone! @@aleja908 you shouldn't have to crush your pills. I was prescribed Norco as well and I havent taken any. How does your incision look? It isn't infected?

No it doesnt look infected it just red. They didnt do stiches or staples the doc put some sort of glue and he said it should fall off on its on. So it should be okay to swallow the pills??

Its all in what you tolerate. You can try byt cutting pill in half if it is scored.
