Its now day 4 post op & feeling much better, exchanged the codiene based painkiller for ordinary soluble paracetamol so feeling less like a zombie!
Came out of hospital with a carrier bag of meds! laxatives to stop any constipation due to lack of food/fiber, painkillers, tabs to help stop my stomach from producing too much acid which helps to stop any irritation of an already swollen stomach, peppermint water to help with the bloating,
Was very bloated to start with which is normal as they blow your abdomen up with gas to be able to operate using the keyhole method, it was until yesterday (mon) that this started to go down,
Since saturday I have been drinking water, peppermint tea, protein shakes & cup a soups (smooth ones only) only able to have runny liquids at the moment, on sat/sun the most I could drink was around 100ml at a time but yesterday & today i am able to drink upto approx 200ml which is probably due to the swelling going down,
More later!
