Took oxy for post surgery pain

[XanaDUer2]

Nauseous and high af. Stomach still rumbling. Surgery was yesterday. Maybe worrying too soon

[dweller]

1. Put on some headphones and soothing music

and relax

You’re healing



✌🏻

2. Got any weed?

That helps you eat.

27. I've had a couple of

hernia surgeries lately, and I used cannabis exclusively, no oxy. I hate the way it knocks me out, and even more I hate the oxy constipation. Drs. insist on prescribing it for pain after surgeries, so I just stockpile it, for just in case.

29. Most of those pain pills back me up too.

Hate to take them unless I really hurt. We need a new drug.

3. I'd suggest you take a stool softener with it.

Even one day of full dose oxy means everything gets stopped up for me. I tend to take half doses and that doesn't react that way with my system. My dr. would tell me to take Colace along with it, but I found Miralax worked better. Everyone I know who has taken it has the same reaction.

Did you take it with food or on an empty stomach? An empty stomach can make the nausea feeling worse.

I hope you're feeling better soon.

6. I have stool softner

I ate an avocado. The pain is so bad i took one and a half.

7. Opioids are notorious for causing constipation--especially after abdomenal surgery. So, yes, I concur. Also

Try to move around as much as your surgeon recommends. It keeps the GI tract from shutting down its motility as much...

4. I would think you should probably take it easy for at least a couple days. I am glad to "see" you but don't

push yourself. Hugs.

5. You had major abdominal surgery.

Back in the day people were in the hospital for more than a week. I had a lot of gas pains and grumbling after mine, I was only given Tylenol and Ibuprofen. It was very painful for about 4 days.

[XanaDUer2]

10. I'm sorry

You were in pain. My major symptom for the gallbladder removal was excltreme gas and stomach rumbling. So I'm concerned

[onecaliberal]

21. That is normal.

8. Can they give you an anti-nausea prescription to take with Oxy?

For some reason, opioids make me extremely nauseous. My doctor prescribed the antinausea drug Zofran. It did the trick.

[XanaDUer2]

9. I've emailed him

[crimycarny]

11. One nice side-effect of Zofran is it helped me fall asleep

Zofran helped me sleep too, though it was subtle--not as strong as taking a sleeping pill or Benedryl. Of course, being able to sleep better might also have been because I didn't feel like I was on the verge of puking every 5 minutes.

Good luck, hope your doctor gets back to you soon. And hope you heal quickly.

12. It's after 4:30, you need more food on your tummy than an avocado

The first couple days you can take oxytocin every 6 hours ( if you have only taken 1&1/2 that’s not enough)

Buttered toast is good after surgery food

[XanaDUer2]

14. I really didn't prepare well

Neither of us can drive. I should have bought more food. We're out of otc meds. I'm an idiot

[questionseverything]

15. You're not an idiot , you have had a lot on your mind

Does anywhere close deliver?

[XanaDUer2]

16. Wall Mart again

We nvr got the catfood

[questionseverything]

17. Maybe you will have better luck this time with their delivery

How do you usually get groceries?

[XanaDUer2]

18. Drive to public

But can't even stand a but. I think i should not have had the extra half

[questionseverything]

19. Try taking a nap 😴

Order some takeout for tonight when you get up, like grilled cheese and soup

Order groceries to be delivered, you definitely can’t drive

I wish you were closer to some help❤️

Even a slice of bread will help with that acid burn

[XanaDUer2]

20. Me 2

26. Not CHEESE, after gall bladder removal;

FAT intake an issue; diet modifications needed.

[HeartsCanHope]

22. Other foods good for stomach upset are bananas, rice, applesauce, and the aforementioned toast.

I wish you lived near me, too. I'm so sorry you're in pain. How about soup, (not tomato,) or even just crackers, any in the pantry? And as was mentioned, take that stool softener. You need food or the pain pills will make you really dizzy and upset your stomach. Can you call the doctor's office and talk to the nurse for anti-nausea meds? Please take care, let us know how you are doing, and I'll be thinking of you.

[XanaDUer2]

23. I emailed him re nausea

[XanaDUer2]

24. Puking

[homegirl]

25. For immediate

long lasting pain relief and even elimination acupuncture has always worked for me. AMAZING results.

28. FYI: What foods should you avoid if you have no gallbladder?

Don't eat high-fat foods, fried and greasy foods, and fatty sauces and gravies for at least a week after surgery. Instead, choose fat-free or low-fat foods. Low-fat foods are those with no more than 3 grams of fat in a serving. Check labels and follow the serving size listed
