Three days post op

By Katie C on 23 Apr 2011

Hi again, So I did it, Went in on Wednesday morning and by three o clock that afternoon I was done!! I can honestly say that the day of the op and the day after were the worse, as i experienced nausea, which I can not handle very well. Once the nausea was gone , I can say it has been fine since then. Because of the nausea and discomfort of the anesthetic, I did ask myself, What the hell did I just do?? Day 3 and 4 have been bliss!! not much pain..Ok my muscles hurt a bit when i try to get up..I am walking around. I honestly can not believe that I am so well. I was soo afraid of the pain and I think that I actually prepared myself for the worst. I have been very pleasantly surprised. Doing well Katie C.

A couple other good things you can take are Cleanse More and Calm. Calm you can take every day but cleanse is just to get you going. Our adult daughter used to go every couple of weeks (Yuk!) but this keeps her regular. In case you're wondering, there's nothing wrong with her...we already had her checked out completely. Just a slow pooper :0/

Same here! First day I had a breakdown questioning what I had done to myself... I really think the worst for me was the way I felt after the anesthesia. HATED IT. Morphine in recovery made me sick to my stomach... and getting up and down... forget it. But, I havent taken one narcotic since 1 dpo... and, only one Ibprofren today @ 7dpo and that was for a headache Lol. I have been somewhat smooth sailing since 3/4 dpo.... still dealing with minor annoyances... like the numbness, which I really cant get used too. I didnt think it would bother me but, I can say it is GROSS! Hopefully, I will get some feeling back soon and it will all be a distant memory! That or I get used to it Lol....
