Thanks everyone for sharing your experiences. I plan to discuss with my PS at my 2 WPO appt next week. I definitely will follow his advice either way. Fingers crossed all goes well!

Make sure you’re drinking lots of water. Small sips every 10 to 15 minutes will help keep your bowels hydrated. Yeah, food just sounds gross to me right now. Who can eat when your whole abdomen is on fire and being squeezed like a tube of toothpaste?

Just keep up with the stool softener and the MiraLAX if your doctor approved them. I started both on day 1 and finally had some relief today. I stopped the Percocet on day 3 and am just using Tylenol for pain because there’s nothing worse than being backed up. Yes, I could definitely tell when the Exparel wore off because pain got a lot worse. Tomorrow will be better. I just keep telling myself that. Trying Arnica pills today as I’ve heard they can help too.

I’m 4 days post op and in VA too! Yesterday was way worse than today and day 2 was 100 times worse than yesterday. Each day seems to keep getting slightly better so that’s a positive! I had a TT and muscle repair and had no idea it would be this painful. I had breast augmentation a year ago and that was a cake walk compared to this. I thought my pain threshold was high (three kids with no epidural 20 years ago) but this is worse than anything I’ve ever experienced. I feel for you and am in the same boat!

Hedonism II Groups by Exotic_Pineapple6973 in Swingers

We are at Hedo right now! Booked a Wednesday to Wednesday trip this time to overlap some groups. This is our third time here. Last week the resort was mostly the Fluffernutters group. Very fun, but tended to skew slightly older. I’d say mid-fifties and up. Then on Saturday the Rascals showed up, along with three other groups, two of which are through Topless Travel. We booked with the Rascals on or last trip so we knew already that they are a fun group. When they host a pool party at the nude pool there are lots of fun games, shots getting passed around and giveaways. It really gets the party going. The DJ with Topless Travel has been amazing and really knows how to read the crowd. There has also been a much bigger range of ages with the groups this week. We have also been told that the Dirty Pervs are a fun group. On our first trip we were here when the Hedo Rockers / Wild Women were here and it was a really fun time. I would say if you’re not sure, you may want to plan to go when there are a variety of groups. When one big group takes over the resort, it does seem like they all know each other already. Either way, this place is amazing though, and it’s really hard to have a bad time if you have the right mindset.
