I had dilotted (morphine) in my pain pump and it made my skin itch but the pain was gone, so it was okay!
Topic: 3 days post op - home for two days soo sleepy
Hey all,
I've been home from the hospital since Thursday night 8:30 p.m. I checked in at noon on Wednesday and was walked into the OR at 1:00. Surgery was done at 2:50 and everything went great. A little nausea in the hospital but for the most part everything was perfect. I abused my morphine pump just a little bit but I'm doing okay on my liquid vicodin right now. I still haven't had a BM since the night before surgery so I'm a little worried about that next. I still can't take in more than 2 oz at a time and I feel like all I do is try to get the water in. Onward and upward! Hope all my November buddies are doing great!

I'm glad to hear you are doing better today
You need to slow down though. I don't know if your Dr's instructions were the same as mine, but I am not supposed to lift more than 10 lbs for at least 4 weeks. That is a gallon of milk so laundry lifting is out)
Good Luck!!

Topic: RE: Confussed..
I'm with Kelly. I know I have to eat 70g of protein a day, and have to drink 64oz of fluids. I just keep going on and off all day long. It's a full time job right now to get it all in. I can't imagine stopping after 3oz and still getting my 64oz in a day. I drink till I'm full, but because it's all liquids, I'm good to go 5 mins later.
Good luck

Topic: 3 days out!
i've been home for 24 hours and I'm thrilled to say i've had few problems. I just ate some really runny mashed potato with some unflavored protein powder. not the tastiest thing, but it's a new artform.
Hope everyone who had surgery this week is doing well!

Topic: RE: Eating after surgery
Hi, Elizabeth! Hope your approval is a quick and painless process.
Your question might be better asked on the main board or the board for your particular surgery. Most of those that hang out on the November 2008 forum are just having our surgery.
Best of luck!
Kelly
