    Has anyone else been feeling sick due to the cocodamol or the antibiotics that were given to us at the hospital?
    Not too sure which one is making me feel sick but I threw up 3 times in about 4 hours this morning?

    I was sick off the co codamol. I just ended up changing to paracetamol on the first day and been on that since. I know a few on here have taken ibruprofen as well x

    I took some paracetamol earlier instead to see if it was that and it still made me feel a bit sick but could just be the fact that I pracically never take pain relief ect and having the antibiotics together with it as well x
    Have you felt better cutting out the cocodamol?

    Yeah the antibiotics still make me feel sick. And could also be the anaesthetic leaving your body. I never normally take pain relief either, but I’ve found it so much better. I’m pod5 and stopped taking pain relief on day 3… I rang mya the day after surgery as I was being sick as soon as I took the cocodamol and she just said to swap it for paracetamol as cocodamol is really strong x

    I tried some ibuprofen earlier and so far so good, I started taking the cocodamol the evening of my op and was ok then. Wasn’t until this morning (full day 2) that I started being sick, managed a full day with everything cooperating with me haha!
    What did you have and who was your surgeon?

    I’ve been really poorly too. I’m POD5 today. I came off the anti biotics yesterday morning and feeling tonnes better. They’ve given me a horrible rash around my mouth too! Hopefully it will go before work on Monday haha. I definitely think it was the antibiotics though x

    Aw bless Danielle, yeah hopefully it’ll go down, does it covers with makeup?

    My back hasn’t been too bad really, was absolutely shattered yesterday and almost fell asleep in the salon when I was having my hair and nails done haha!
    Have you tried putting a pillow under your bum in bed to relieve the pressure?
    I had 450 hp Overs with Dr Traynor xx

    Harriet have you got some Senakot? Will help with the bloating.
    If you’re not already it might be worth setting an alarm every 4 hours even through the night to take your pain killers so that you’re not waiting for the pain to come back before taking them again.
    I’ve not found sleeping too bad, I’ve been sleeping on the sofa a lot in the day because it’s much more comfortable, I’m 4 days now and I can almost sit up myself with no problems, struggle a bit every now and then X
