home from surgery

I had surgery yesterday at 815 am. I got home today about 230 ish. I am pretty sore. I took a nap..have been trying to walk as much as I can despite being sore... not really able to eat much more than a few sips of water or broth

Congratulations Tressa

Congrats on making it to "the other side!" Dot

What you are experiecing is normal just dont try and over do it. Walking will help the soreness and being tired is normal....Congrats you are now an official loser!

Congrats,  Did your insurance make you stay over night? My doesn't and I live 70 miles away and I'm afraid of being too uncomfortable riding. I will be away from my computer until later tonight. Ramona

Ramona, you'll actually be better off sitting in the car for a couple of hours than laying on your back-it's the getting UP from a flat position that is the most troublesome.  The ride may help disperse some gas.

my insurance didnt make me stay the dr just did it

getting up from a flat position is the worst.. it hurts so bad :(

Thanks to everyone for all the info about riding home and getting rid of the gas. Any information or ways to drink this stuff would be appreciated. I have done well on the 7 day diet  and loss 7 lbs. Now I'm on the 3 day liquid one. At least Dr. Keith only has you do the all liquid for 3 days.My husband, daughter, granddaughter, and I went to "Laser Zone" (Arcades, Games, Etc.) When they ate something I went out in the truck and mixed my meal and drank it. I ran the motor because it was so cold but no moisture. I have drank a lot of decaf tea today also. After that my husband  and I went to "I am Legend" Popcorn smell and everything. I was on my 1st day of all liquids. He didn't eat any popcorn which really helped. My daughter and granddaughter went to see "Alvin." Afterwards I mixed up a Fuzzy Navel and drank that all the way home which is about 40 miles. I'm drinking decaf chamomile tea to warm up before I hit the hay. I'm usually not a night owl. I have an addiction to sour salty things like " Twang" or lemon juice and salt. I have put that on chipped ice yesterday and today. I know I will retain water and raise my blood pressure. I need prayers and help with this. Ramona

Congrats!!!  Hope you start feeling better soon. Nana
