First night post surgery Started by: Charlotte

Hi Charlotte, mya recommend you sleep upright for the first 7-10 days. As regards co-codamol, from my personal experience, I used to take 2 before bed & 2 in the morning, then 1 every 4-6 hours if needed. They’re renowned for bunging you up so take a gentle laxative (dulcolax worked for me) & drink plenty of fluids. Some girls did the 4hr thing of taking painkillers but if you don’t feel you need 2 every 4 hours then don’t. I slept better on my 2nd night post op coz I was knackered! Hope you sleep well. xx
