Hope you are feeling better. So sorry you are on your own. I'm pre-op so don't have any specific advice but wanted you to know that someone is out there thinking about you.

Take your pain meds, sleep and sip water. If you need to call your doctor, then do so.

It does get better. What is toughest for you right now?

You may be having gas pain which is brutal. If that is what it is, try and walk every hour so it will pass. If you are worried, call the doctor.

I hope so. I am 2 days post op as well. Stupid gas pain is driving me nuts plus one of my incisions feels super tight so it hurts when I am standing. My husband had the surgery a little over a month ago and he says it gets better each day. And is alot better by day 7. So that is what I keep looking forward to

Day 3 was when everything started to turn around for me, and the recovery was swift. Every day got better and better after that.

Good luck!

If it is gas discomfort, walk, walk, and even when you are tired walk some more. Pain meds will not get rid of the discomfort.

It gets better every single day, and at one week you'll feel a LOT better! Don't hesitate to call your doctor if you're feeling really awful...dehydration happens quickly and it's hard to recover from. Good luck!

Every day is better than the last!

Day 4/5 was when everything started going well for me. The pain was so much more bearable, I was moving around all on my own. I'm 12 days post op and I can tell you.. I feel great!! I see changes in my face and in my body and it's only been 12 days. Some days I feel like crap because I'm DYING to eat normal food. It's rough, it's really really rough. liquid diet is no joke. I've cried. It feels like torture at times and I barely started my journey. But you know what, seeing the changes already and knowing what is to come, I can't just sit around a sulk about it. It was my decision, now I need to work hard to reach my goal. You will feel better, trust and believe!! Stay strong!! ❤️❤️

Maybe getting up and just slowly walking up and down the hallways in the hotel would help..

I was ungodly sick on day 2 and by day 4 I just felt like a zombie. For the most part, you continue to feel better each day and a few months from now you will barely remember the misery of right now.

Wait til day 8 or 9 when you have explosive diarrhea

This is a YMMV situation. I can tell you I have never had diarrhea -- explosive or otherwise. (Although there were times I wish I had diarrhea as opposed to the constipation that comes and goes...)

That first week was really rough. Everything hurts, your insides are still swollen and tender so you can't drink your liquids, it is hard to bend over or reach, and it hurts to sit up or roll over in bed. I promise that it gets better a little every day. Day 7 for me was a huge turning point where all of a sudden, I just felt better.

Focus on your liquids for now and take your pain meds, they will let you walk around which helps the healing process.

Good luck and I'm sure you'll be feeling better in a few days.
