Not the bleeding, but the pain in the left abdomen is caused by that same incision. I was told to put ice on the incision, not where the pain is about 8 inches away. The son of a gun is very sore today, but I went for a long walk anyway. Hang in there Nana, and keep a close eye on that incision.

Everything still tastes the same to me. But I have developed a preference for cold water over flavored drinks.

Two thirds of a chicken brat, 1 bite of grilled portabella mushroom, and 1 graham cracker.

Congratulations, I saw the dietician first.

Found out today that a circular area of skin, about 10 inches around, is completely numb. The left side abdominal pain is located just under this skin and seems to involve the muscles. Wow, these nerves are really jacked up. Wonder how long it will take to heal?

You make sense, Robergnm.

What nonsense. Although I read the same thing about veggies....supposedly we don't need them anymore. I will go back to eating them again because I like them.

Hopefully you just need to have a bm, Nana.

I have pain in my left side also, my doc calls it nerve pain. They can do a temporary nerve block, but that hurts a lot. I'm three wks and one day out. Hoping the left side discomfort goes away soon. Hoping you're pain leaves quickly, Nana. Hang in there.

I also think a place for height would be a good idea.

And you are in my thoughts and prayers as well, Nana.

I know the pain is bad, still dealing with sore left side 3 wks post-op, but the pain has lessened greatly since just after surgery. You're pain will lessen also, it just takes time, and that is not what you want to hear. But you must take it one day at a time. Just get through this day. Try...

I just had a sore throat from the breathing tube...lasted a couple of days. I hope this problem eases for you soon.

Welcome, Valjac, you're eating habits sound fine to me. Just make sure you get the appropriate amount of protein per day.

I try to eat 5 times per day plus a protein shake. Sometimes I feel like I have to force myself to eat that fifth time.

Thanks, Tom. Don't know why the pain came back, but hopefully, it will go away for good soon.

Welcome to the forum, Ashyash27. It's a great place for information, support and friendships. Glad to have you aboard. :)

Robergnm, I'm praying that you do indeed have a gigantic passing of gas, and that you are downwind of any living thing, lol. ;)

Thank you, Pat, I appreciate you're concern. Not gonna use the hydrocodone for now. Don't like the taste or the way it makes me feel overall. Just gonna suck it up and deal with it.

Thank you,Robergnm, I really appreciate you're positivity and prayers. Hoping this pain goes away soon. Its getting to be very annoying.
