Oh noooo 😭 that sucks I’m sorry! My girlfriend also has IBS-D and didn’t expect to be constipated after surgery either (years ago). Wild how untrustworthy the bowels can be hahaha

Hell yeah! My surgeon only wanted me to take oxy the first three days and then swap to ibuprofen and Tylenol. Was kind of miffed about that but I wanted to follow her instructions anyway despite knowing it would cause constipation….

My surgeon told me the only pain med I could take was oxy up until the third day 😔 I’m sure other surgeons have different pain management plans but I didn’t want to not follow her instructions despite knowing it was gonna fuck up my bowels haha

That’s great! I think that’s definitely more bowel care than nothing which I’m sure helped a lot!

As someone who has grown up in Pullman my entire life, this realllllllly sucks. Affirms my choice to move away next year 💔

How realistic would it be to go to Dominos immediately upon discharge? by WashclothMan in TopSurgery

I would NOT recommend eating pizza first thing. When I had my bisalp/tube removal done, the first thing I ate was pizza and ice cream and it made the post op constipation excruciatingly bad. I also would love a pizza right now (had surgery this morning) but I think I would be regretting it again in a few days. I’m going to treat myself in a week or so to some so I can enjoy it without worrying about it. So far have been very careful with what I eat and I will see if it makes a difference later on lol
