2 Days Post Op
I wonder if you could use a cold pack if you're super sore. I'd ask the surgeon first definitely, but on my super sore days I did that versus the pain medications.
I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

Hi guys. I water the yogurt down with a little 2% milk. Makes it thinner. I have been using an nice pack while propped up on the couch. I walk around the house every hour.
Also been getting bloody noses, not to sure why.
They didn't give me a binder. I still have to take my pain meds 3hrs on the dot or I hurt really bad. The bruising looks bad today . Day 3 post op.
Hi,
I understand what you are going through! I had such horrible gas pains post op that it made drinking unbearable. I struggled with getting enough fluids in and goodness knows I tried. I could not drink 1oz every 15 minutes like the plan stated but once the gas went away which lasted about about four days I was more comfortable and able to drink a whole lot more. I did try to move around as much as possible and because I have a pretty high threshold for pain I tried to steer clear of the liqud Tylenol only taking it when it got extremely bad. However everyone is different so if you need the meds then take it. The pain will get better and your ability to drink more will as well just listen to your body and do what you can :) best of luck to you!
