Need a buddy!! Anyone having surgery the same day? Or day before or after?

I can barely stay awake. Pain has been better since they gave me Toradol.

If I wasn't walking I was sleeping. I was falling asleep sitting up. Well I thought I was superwoman and because I felt good, I didn't ask for more pain meds. Not a good idea. Now I'm so sore and it feels like the pain medicine they gave me just didn't cut it.

I have a PCA of Dilaudid it's been super nice but I'm still very sleepy.

I'm up and walking a lot also. Very little pain. I have queball that has a catheter into my upper abdomen. Tylenol an toradol by IV, it's doing its job very well. I'm going home Tuesday after noon. I feel pretty good!

That's great. I think I'm going home Tuesday evening. Have you had anything to drink? I start some liquids today.

I've only had some water so far. And have Tylenol and Toradol scheduled. Should go home this afternoon. Glad to hear from you guys and how you all are doing!

I got broth jello and decaf coffee plus apple juice that was watered down for breakfast. Still feeling good ! I hope everyone else's experience has been as uneventful as mine????????????????????????????????

I'm working on pureed chicken, pureed scrambled eggs and some low-fat yogurt for brunch. Having some heartburn so probably going to be done in another bite or two.

Last Zofran was 2 this morning. Should be switching off the PCA and onto oral

What pain med did you guys get? They just switched me to an ultra concentrated Oxycodone and it's absolutely disgusting!

I was given the same but haven't taken any yet. I will have the qball on Thursday. Also suggested Tylenol.

I'm staying an extra night in the hospital. I'm going to ask my pharmacy to flavor it when I pick it up tomorrow.

How is everyone doing? On my way home from the hospital and opting to not fill my pain med. It made me extremely nauseous this morning. Now we're going to relax all adenoma and watch ABC Family's 25 Days of Christmas.

I filled both prescriptions, pain and nausea, but haven't used either one. Took Tylenol this morning and otherwise feeling great. I've not been nauseous or in much pain. Counting myself very lucky!

Hello

I'm trying to get myself ready for surgery on Dec 28 can someone give me some good tips and suggestions please

Hi everyone. Is anyone having trouble with gas pain. It's in my abdomen area and is killing me. I feel so bloated. It's not longer in my back or shoulders just there. Going to try some gas x strips. Other than that I fe great. I really have to force my protein drink but it seems to hurt when I drink it.
