I feel like crap! I felt great in the hospital, but since being at home, my pain and nausea have increased. I hate the liquid pain killer. It's so gross. How long until I start feeling better?

I was lucky and had no pain, but the nausea about took me down. I was nauseated for about 3 days at home. Once I was able to start forcing water down it made it a lot better. There is blood and bile in there and no food, so the combo hits some people really hard. Sip water continually and you will start to feel better. Hang in there- it does get better!

I hate liquids right now! Loved water before but now I can feel every drop hit my stomach. Also having to have half of the 96 ounces be drinks with electrolytes is awful because I can't stand any thing sweet. Protein shakes don't count either.

Pop sickles were my hero. The outshine pop sickles, so many varieties

when my nausea was bad at first I think I was eating 3-5 pop sickles a day

They really did smooth my stomach, would basically cure the nausea and would make my stomach pain go away- I'm 3 months post and I still eat a pop sickle if my stomach hurts, works every time

Worked for me !! Hope it helps you too

It took me a week post op for the pain to be tolerable. When I wore a binder that helped a ton with pain. I took anti-nausea meds that helped some. Hang in there and walk and rest, get your fluids in. You got this!
