I try and do my own smoothies but sometimes even that makes you want to vomit, so if you can open a can, that's good enough!! have been drinking Ensure meal replacements on those days when I can't really stomach much real food and also to fill get rid of that 'empty' feeling in my belly when I am not actually hungry (whihc is rare) but it just feel like I need something. I did this wiht my first pregnancy as well.
Once the appendicitis symptoms appear, it can take as little as 24 to 72 hours for the infected appendix to rupture. If the appendix ruptures, the infection can spread to other areas of the abdomen, increasing the risk of serious complications and making treatment more difficult.
If there was no rupture, generally it is one day. Even same day if it is preplanned, but in general one day. If there is some lingering infection, up to 3 days. Not longer than that unless there was a rupture or extensive infection. An appendectomy generally has few complications, with a hospital stay of 1 to 3 days. However, if the infected appendix ruptures before surgery, the person usually stays in the hospital longer to receive antibiotics that will help kill bacteria that may have spread to the abdominal cavity.
