RE: Re: [DS-Support] 3 Weeks - Things WILL get better,right???

Marcia,

After I've had dairy, (yogurt or milk), it takes a couple of hours, but I get

very gassy and I can feel my insides gurgling like crazy. I don't think I

have a Major lactose intolerance though, it doesn't make me sick or anything.

I can have dairy in moderate amounts.

I took my pain meds for about 2 weeks faithfully, and then tapered off and

just took them at bed time for a while. By 3 weeks I didn't need them

anymore. As long as you are uncomfortable take your meds, it really helped

me. As soon as you are ready to drive, make sure you are off of them. Hope

this helps. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Just a quick question: what are symptoms of lactose intolerance? I've never

had it, but this morning after a breakfast of fat-free cottage cheese,

mushed banana, and a tsp. of fat-free sour cream (I'm 4 days post-op) I have

a dull pain, almost gassy,above and to the left of my navel.It also seems to

want to radiate toward the back. Should I take a vicodin or, if it's gas,

will it pass? I've been feeling pretty darn good since the surgery (Of

course, that's with the help of moderate pain-killers:which leads to another

question, how long should I be taking pain killers. What's the average time

limit. I don't want to become dependent but I also want to be comfortable.)

Thanks for any advice.
