6 days out and improving!
I had a very bad first 4 days. Day 5 was okay. But today, Day 6, I am feeling better than I have the entire time. The constant nausea that I had Days 1-4/5 has finally ebbed a bit. Today's my last day of liquid diet. I'm looking forward to a real meal tomorrow of pureed fish and applesauce! YUM!
I had a lot of pain too. Last night I slept like a baby ON MY SIDE which I haven't been able to do until last night. This morning, with no pain medication at all, I don't feel pain. A little soreness and whatnot, but nothing bad at all.
Those of you who are in that 1-4 day post-op period, if you're having a hard time, it WILL get better!
I don't mean the fish and applesauce together in one puree! LOL
However, I think you'll understand how even that would taste ok after a week and a half of not eating a thing. I'm so desparate for REAL food! I can't wait until tomorrow!! (Of course, neither can you - for different reasons)
Good luck tomorrow. You'll be on the losing side in no time.
