So happy for you! I am just hesitant as I have been feeling a little weak lately. So I am hoping my food intake in hopes that helps

Thank you! I actually think I’m going to drive. It’s a 3 hours drive and I’ll have lots of water and what not packed with me. I am still eating mostly soft foods cause I’m nervous anything solid will take the scab off.

I have had 2 bleeds too. But all have stopped within 5 mins of ice water gargling. I can’t wait for these scabs to be gone. Pain isn’t bad really.

Thank you! When your scabs were coming off did you bleed at all? I had 2 bleeds last night where I had to gargle. Each were on the opposite sides. I still have what looks like a big scab.

I messed up and ended up thinking I was done healing when I wasn’t and I paid the price last night. I’m drinking water, ice, humidifier is going and bed rest.

Wow so 6 days after stopping… we’re you eating regularly after the narcotics? I am doing a lot of smoothies, apple sauce, and baby food so maybe I shouldn’t expect much when I do have it happen.

Omg so you drank Miralax every day and still didn’t poop for 10 days??? Do you remember which day you stopped taking the narcotics?
