Hold on!
Gut cuts are bad.
Hope all the spine work went well.
Prayers for a quick and complete recovery.

You have what's called an Ileus. It is caused by the general anesthetic and meds used to stop your intestines from working during surgery. Opiods are a usual culprit. https://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/what-is-ileus
I was warned, but I am here anyway.

Moved me off clear liquids diet. I had this for dinner, but only a little to test gut functions. I did take 20 minutes to eat a cup of vanilla Häagen-Dazs ice cream. After 6 days of liquid, it was soooo good. Some salt, and a cranberry juice topped off the turkey, and mashed. I'm back on oxycodone again too. They really do help with the pain. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/nL9F2GRL/20221202-165022.jpg) Gonna try scrambled eggs in the morning. Not farting alot, and bowel movement is going ok, just brown water tho. Gizzyman, Yep, that what I have.

Oxycodone can be what is causing your slowdown.

I promise you that oxycodone will do nothing good for your ability to chit ! Be careful using any opioids ! Plenty of people have been destroyed by opioids they started out on for legitimate reasons. I’ve had several back episodes where I was prescribed opioids but chose to suffer rather than risk addiction.

Oxycodone can be what is causing your slowdown. Or it could be post op ileus since his guts were moved around and his spinal nerves were irritated at surgery. It’s common, and it sounds like it’s getting better. Concern about opioids is not unwarranted but they have their place.

Get well soon. I have a strong back and a week mind I guess. I’ve never had a minute of back trouble after 50 years of lifting heavy pipe and hard work. I’m very lucky!

It’s common, and it sounds like it’s getting better. Concern about opioids is not unwarranted but they have their place. I'm thinking it's a combination of both. An ileus can be terribly painful, especially with the bloat post op, when everything hurts to begin with and at best.

The gas bubbles moving were horrible pain, now add that to where they cut my left side, and bent me to install cages at l2, and l3, then my back hardware, I HURT.
I am have pretty good movement now, so they gave me oxy to help with the surgery pains.
I've been taking oxy as needed for months. I know about addiction, so I stayed away from the them as much as possible.
I have alot of them saved.....
I'm sure I'll be going home today.

I am sure that you will be looked at later this morning.
If they let you go home, slow and easy, missing all the bumps.
I am sure that you are bitting the bit to get out of there, slow and easy and follow your Dr. recommendations.
There are too many google Dr. out here giving free advice. Stay with your real dr.s recommendations.
Speedy recovery.
Be careful on the ice and snow. You do not want to fall down. That would only make it a real challenge then.
