My family is taking such good care of me. I had to sleep in a recliner because i have to stay in a bent position for five days. When I am sitting I have very little pain. It's the attempt to stand up that is brutal. My arms feel pretty good and I have almost full use of them already.

Continue to heal well!! Thank you for sharing your journey - you are such an inspiration in so many ways!!
Most days in life don't stand out, But life's about those days that will...
I can't wait to see your results!! And kudos on your family for being so great. My ovary and cyst removal is in about 11 days and I predict my guys will be great, too. They were wonderful when I had my breast reduction almost 10 years ago.
I hope your recovery continues to go well!

Day 2 post-op: the pain is manageable. I had a decent night sleeping in the recliner. Today, however, I have really bad acid reflux and have throw up a few times. I can't take any antacids because they interact with my prescriptions. I also have to stay in a bent position which isn't helping. I haven't had anything to eat since breakfast. DH also helped me take a shower today. I am still too nervous to see my stomach. DH said it looks really good. He offered to take a picture so I can see it when I am ready. That is all for now. I really appreciate all the encouragement you all have been sending my way.

Day 3: horrible night last night. I am experiencing severe heartburn and nausea. I haven't been able to take my meds since 10 last night because I keep throwing up. I just swallowed 3 tsp of apple cider vinegar and that actually seems to be helping. That is all for now.

Ugh. What did they give you as far as painkillers? Can you call your doc and see about getting something that's a little easier on your system? (Ok, none of them are great, but...)
Hang in there. Gentle ((hugs)).
At least I don't leave slime trails.

I'm on Norco and Ibuprofen for pain. I'm also taking bactrim. I stopped taking both of the painkillers for now. And after calling the doctor this morning I am also on something for the nausea. Things are going a bit better than earlier today.

Oh, yes, the Norco would cause nausea. Glad you've got something for the nausea and you're feeling better, even if it's only a bit. It's hard to rest when you're puking. :|

This is the worst thing ever. I truly hope the end result is worth it all. I haven't had a BM in a week and I've tried everything. I shudder to think what I may end up having to do to resolve that issue.
Staying in a bent position and sleeping in a chair is doing a number on my back.
Bit the worst part is I can't hug and snuggle with my kids

(((((Lime))))) Hope you feel better very soon.

After I busted my wrist Norco stopped me up something fierce!!! I don't recall what finally worked…milk of magnesia, perhaps? Or Senekot + stool softener. See what your doctor recommends. Perhaps something old-school like a glycerine suppository would even work.
I hope you feel better fast. I suspect a lot of your woes are due to narcotic pain meds. I tend to get all the nasty effects from those, too.

Oh my goodness. I am sorry you are having a tough post-op. It is the worst. I just talked to a family member yesterday that is post-op and we laughed about pain vs constipation. It is a tough choice. I would not wish that on anyone. So sorry.
I think I used stool softeners and a small bit of MofM to reboot the system after my last surgery. Holy Moly, hang in there.
