KT5365, I was referring to the toradol they we giving me in the hospital. I believe the only thing I can take now is Tylenol. But its already in the hydrocodone so I don't take it.

I like this idea. Thanks for sharing.
That sounds so good...but its still a little while b4 I can eat it. Glad you were able to handle it ok.
So far so good. Haven't needed anymore than an antiinflammatory so far this morning and I've been up for 3 hours. All I can say about waking up in recovery is man that gas pain was no fun. As soon as...
Good luck! I'm ready to break out of here too, and I've only been in one day. Hahahaha.I hope you get released today. ;-)
Lidibear, I understand what you're saying. I felt totally vulnerable and exposed when I went in for my first consult. I could no longer hide behind my smile, I had to fully admit I wasn't happy, I...
Peacemama did you wean off of caffine before your surgery? It could be that. Not sure where you live but it could also be related to dryness. I've had a couple of nasty ones this week from dry air. I...

That is fantastic! I'm so very happy for you!
Oh my gosh, I'm laughing to the point of crying. Fact of life, or sleeve I guess. I'll be sure to pack an extra pair of panties when I head back to work...and not run around commando for that matter....
This is my biggest fear. It took me a week and 3x/day stool softener after my back surgery before I finally went. It's the pain meds, it's awful. Good luck!
He is in my thoughts. Positive vibes being sent his way.
Welcome. Please talk to your doctor, if you haven't already, about your depression. The more you hide the worse it gets. If you decide to have this surgery you'll want to be has mentally healthy as...
You've jumped the biggest hurdle, insurance approval. Welcome to the forum. I believe it to be a wonderful resource and support. :-)
Congrats, sounds like you are doing well!
I hope you start to feel better soon. They say the first couple of weeks are hard. Hang in there. I'm following you shortly and am sure will have all of the same side effects. ;-)
Welcome. This board has been a fantastic resource for me to hear/read about other peoples' experiences.
Hi Wendy! I'm a lacto-ovo heading in to surgery next week. Good sources of protien are beans (as it sounds you have found out), eggs, lentils, broccoli, asparagus, nuts, and the list goes on. If you...
I hope someone answers you Jessica. I'll be 32 next week and am hoping this surgery will help me have my first. I was hoping someone answered you when I saw your post...hopefully they're not too busy...
