I am only 1 wk post op from open rny. I was given Oxyfast for pain control

when I left the hospital on the fourth day after surgery. I was given 30 doses of oxyfast to be taken every 4 to 6 hrs. I have needed it and it helps me to get around so much better. I have not used it as often as I was told to because after I run out I can't get anymore! I am suffering in the day time so I can have it for pain control at night. I have never used drugs and I am a 100% good citizen but because of abuse by OTHERS I cannot have the pain control I need. Doesn't make sense to me! Has anybody else had this experience? Anything else I can use. Loratab makes me sick...too sweet. Liquid Tylenol makes me nauseous. Why is my doctor being so conservative with his approach to post op pain control? My nurse said that I shouldn't be having any pain 1 wk post op! Puhleeze!
