Did you try walking around a lot first



I feel like I have walked a marathon lol I took some gas x and it seems to have helped having a lot of pain in my lower right quadrant that shouldn’t be from the surgery so will probably call the dr on Monday otherwise I’m doing great plenty of liquids and protein is almost where it should be.


Thanks

Have you tried placing a pillow under your stomach when you sleep on your side? I found that help some if you sleep on your back try elevating your legs to keep the pressure off your abdomen. I hope you get some rest soon.


I am a Jan. 30th Buddy, too! How are you feeling today? I am quite fine but get some spasms occasionally.

It’s weird the different dr. Aftercare plans. I was told no protein for the first week. Just keep liquids going.

I am on pure liquids the 1st week, too. Water, broth, SF Jello, SF Popsicles only. No protein yet. :)

13 lbs now after 5 full days. I’m still taking pain pills to get comfortable and sleep.

I am actually up a couple lbs after 5 days. All swelling, inflamation and fluid retention
