home from the castle
Just wanted to post this to other pre-op sisters might see it. It was not that bad. Everything went smoothly ...I had an abdominal hysterectomy, left one ovary. Doc did say it looked suspicious but the path report came back fine.
Anyway, I did too much the first full day after operation, trying to get the gas moving ( walked the long hall 12 times). I felt good, but I think I was still loopy from anesthetic...so go easy, because by that evening I was in pain....and I didn't really help with the gas anyway.
The waiting is bad, but the gas pains were the big challenge for me. Pain meds help with this so stay on top of the pain with the meds if you can.
Surgery was Wed. 7:30 am and I came home Friday around 3:00 pm. Doc said to eat like I have had the flu unitl the bowels are moving. I am moving a lot of gas but not much else so I am eating rather light, but don't want much anyway.
Hope this helps. It was not a walk in the park, but not too horrible either.
Blessings to all,
Beth

Welcome home! Now be a good princess and remember your training: rest, drink lots of water, rest, take short walks around the house, and rest.
We’ll look for your castle story on the “Princesses Tell Their Stories” forum, and all further surgery / recovery updates on the PostOp forum.
Best wishes for a smooth, uneventful recovery.

Congrats Beth!
Welcome home Princess Beth!
Congrats sister! The recovery begins! Be a Princess! REST! Do not get up except to use the potty and take a lap. DRINK your H2O-can't stress that enough it flushes all that IV fluid, anesthesia, drugs, out and helps Mr. Bowel wake up! Eating light makes sense, altho have a nice comfort treat too-you've earned it! Share your story and help those ladies in waiting! Have a super recovery! acpd

Don't forget your peppermint tea! An earlier post on the board said to drink mint tea to help with gas - I have been drinking it since day 1 and have very minimal problems with gas. It seems to work!
