7-Up & trust in a few days you will be well enough to eat full meals again.

Motrin?

mr.335i · 08-21-2011, 04:27 PM

jello, jello and more jello. eventually start easing yourself into your regular meals. motrin? really? did your doc not prescribe you vicodin?...i had my appendix removed in july was in the hospital for about 4 days and took vicodin every 4 hrs to ease the pain

Greenkirby21 · 08-21-2011, 05:01 PM

my dad had this done awhile ago. Basically eat things that are very light to the stomach. My dad had soup and jello.

Goodluck with your recovery

I hate Jello, so I'll just stick with soup.

Next time try exploratory abdominal surgery, you wont even be able to walk right for a few weeks, and if you sneeze.... you will want to

Tondtar · 08-21-2011, 10:22 PM

Appendix? ....Right.

I hope you will be happier with your new gender

First time i shit after having my appendix removed has been so far the pinnacle of my shitting career. I've never even come close to the satisfaction.

Blake · 08-22-2011, 01:28 AM

MOTRIN?! wtf?! am i the only one that has noticed this guy ain't getting the right dope? i'm sorry, but you'd have to opiate the fuck out of me after a surgery like that. sounds entirely too painful.

Yess sirr. All I've had is Apple Juice and Gatorade. I need some food and Chipotle is out of the question.

To to OP... why ask on an off-topic BMW forum about a physician's recommendations?

Your doctor is likely a board-certified surgeon who spent at least 13 years *after* high school to become an expert in what (s)he does. No one else on this forum can possibly know what the surgeon is concerned about; no one else has been inside your abdomen. You need to ask your surgeon about optimal diet, pain control, activity restrictions, and overall trajectory of recovery that you should expect.

Asking on this forum about surgery is like asking your doctor what mods you should get on your new M3.

matthewk · 08-22-2011, 04:27 PM

If you had a laparoscopic appendectomy, go to sleep, you'll feel better in the morning. Most people are back to work in a day or two.
