Five days Post op

By Pammers Johnson

· 573 views

I was sleeved the 13th and sent home 24 hrs later. Had horrible spams and gas pains the first night home. Took liquid Vicodin every 4 hrs. Also took anti stomach spasm med Levsin. Due to the patch and zofran, little to no nausea. Finally slept laying down last night. I'm on full liquids since yesterday. Doing ok. But not really sure if I'm getting enough in. Feel ok. No dizziness, but not lots of energy either. See dr on Monday and hope o get answers. I have my notebook with instructions, but I worry I'm not getting enough in.

Here's what I had today;

11oz premiere protein drink

8 oz water

4 oz Campbell's gourmet tomato soup

4 oz Greek yogurt (wasn't fat free)

4 oz Campbell's creamy tomato soup

8 oz water

TOTAL 500 calories. Approx

 

I have been struggling with tightness in chest/throat. It happens whether I swallow anything or not. I'm back on my NEXIUM. Hope it stops hurting.

    Hello, I am 11 days post op and have the same tightness in my chest/uppper stomach area when I swallow. It sort of feels like something is stuck there. I am not sure if you are describing the same feeling or not but from what I have been told it is "normal" I am going to follow up with the doc again tomorrow to make sure it should still be there. I have a feeling it is just trapped gas. If he has anything to say otherwise I will let you know. Also, I think you are doing pretty darn good with the liquids! I think you are doing better than I was 5 days out so GOOD FOR YOU!

    I'm 4 days out and you're doing WAY better on liquids and protein than me. Things are going down easier today and feeling much better:)

    My surgery was the 14th, and you are doing way better than me.My first week is suppose to be clear liquids and protein shakes. I am not tolerating the water well, have to put something in it to get it down without pain. I would kill for soup right now. I hate protein shakes, they are too sweet. Oh, well, 2 more days and then on to stage 2 were I can have soft stuff.My doc has me on protonix,check with your doc, you are probably suppose to be taking the nexium.
