Anything else you want to tell me?...
do not eat ice chips or drink through a straw. you will get horrible gas. i laughed when my nurse told me this, but after my tubal and hysteroscopy i had gas so bad i didn't think i would ever get rid of it. Then with my hysterectomy i didn't eat the ice or use a straw and i had no gas whatsoever. keep a pillow with you at all times for your tummy, remember not tp pick anything up. i felt so good the next day that i went to take my shower and i almost picked up my suitcase and the nurse just about had a heart attack. i realized quickly what i almost did, thank goodness, also don't push anything with your foot that you can't lift, it will do the same damage as lifting. no sex, for awhile, follow this striclty or you will cause more problems in the long run. let's see... take care of yourself, let others wait on you and pamper you and enjoy it. get lots of rest and listen to your body. good luck.
