I’ve posted about how GREAT I felt after surgery, and I really did! Until I got home. I’ve been trying walk, drink slowly, take meds regularly, but I’m in pain. Last night I threw up for the first time which surprisingly wasn’t too bad, pain wise, and it showed me how small my stomach must be.

I’m looking for insight in the pain, when did you turn the corner and feel better? Any advice?

Thanks

*hugz* what pain meds have they sent you home with? Sucks when pain catches up with you

Tylenol w/ codine worked for me. I’ve been easing off since last night. Sorry to hear you’re in pain. Pain was severe in hospital, but each day gets better.

I’m only consuming 1 tablespoon of any liquid at a time; then wait 30 secs and have another. It’s incredibly slow but I’ve had no problems thus far.

Hope this helps. The liquid Tylenol has been excellent and super helpful. While in-hospital I had dilaudid, which made me loopy but was effective.

Dilaudid was a life saver in the hopsital! I came home with some serious pain. I was barely able to do anything. The pain is muuuuch better today. It starting getting better about 9 days post op. I think what helped the pain was increasing my activity and water intake. I now experience some discomfort and very little pain in my stomach, which is to be expected, I believe.
