I'm not a nurse yet but I am a float patient care tech and I know we do most of the lifting so when I come back I think the lightest duty I can come back to if I were to come less than 4 weeks would be the ER. Atleast doing 1:1 there start off first with 4 hrs then work my way up from there

Yea I think it's that too I'm swollen cuz I prob have inflammation still hopefully this week will get better

Not a real one they are still liquid stools

Is it normal to feel like really bloated ? Like my belly is so round as if I was preg . I had my surgery on Monday and now today I'm having prob with my chest slight amount of pain but idk what to do cuz if it's gas I walk around and take something but to look at my belly is really weird.

Thanks to everyone who are going through wat I am going through now it really helps me a lot and makes me feel less alone. I will try to get those gas x strips continue my fluids and also try some cream soup. Today I was more active and walked more I tried low fat yogurt and sips of a protein shake but I didn't have the urge to finish it all. It's true your taste buds do really change . I really would rather eat something very cheesy but I know I am not able to. I'm just almost one week down so let's hope it gets better. Thanks everyone again for making me feel better.

I'll try to get more fluids in and I don't had any staples just a lot of pain near chest I guess I am doing the breathing techniques as well just wish I would stop soon

Is it just me it is anyone experiencing Ton of pain around upper part of the belly ? I swear I can't take it, I walk around I get scared to eat or drink anything cuz I feel like I'm going to vomit air. Idk what todo anymore I just can't stand this feeling and I am tired of the pain medication given to me cuz just consuming that as it's moments of not going well. My mouth feels dry please wat can I do to make this pain go away ?

I did and the reason ur head is pounding is because ur lacking sodium. So if it's possible try to have mash potatoes with some salt not to much but have that with some veggies. If we wasn't on a diet I would just say eat a bag of chips lol but ofcourse we can't have that and also from sitting to standing go slow it will also help . Water is flavor less so we need flavored stuff

It's harder than ever the site of food is making me get nauseous . I sometimes rethink this cuz I don't like the pain I'm feeling and the meds are taking longer than the hospital lol . But anyways I try to get as much water as I can but I still get scared of feeling nauseated after sips. This is really hard but I won't give up . Just need to heal and rest too

All yum I miss orange juice and orange soda lol man can I go for something cheesy

I miss my cherry pop tarts , Jose Tejas , ugh all the bad stuff lol

Best shower is always at home . The warm water running down my body felt so good and so relieved. My pain has been on and off laid in bed and also walked around the house. Belly still looks bloated but the heating pad does help, Tom will be first visit with doc. Only can tolerate water mostly I need flavor wish I can have vitamin water but that has sugar lol . I get full quick with the jello and ice pop just trying to maintain my hydration. I am happy with such a wonderful team of support. Hope all is well with everyone else. Love this app it really helped me a lot

Everytime I cough I got scared cuz it actually hurt. I used the incentive spirometer to help with my lungs just for some reason the gas pain was still there . I'm home now and kinda feeling better just wished I never experienced such a pain in my life

Parlin nj over here

Lucky my insurance is very strict I had to wait 2 yrs but I finally got it on Monday just taking it day by day

Dilaudid does work for that instant relived but I may have to stay an extra day since I have not had a bowel movement . My doct is very cautious and that's what I like. I just passed gas throughout the night so now I took milk of mag again to help with my bowels. It's my first surgery and I know dilaudid can cause constipation so I'm going to slow it down for a bit . I will keep posted when my doc comes in

I would love to lose 50 in a month I had my surgery yesterday I'm still in do much pain and I don't have to urge to drink or eat

I had my surgery yest on the 7th so I'm one day post op

I wish I didn't experience so much pain before I feel so horrible right now and scared

I am in the hospital and feel constipated it's a side effect to the pain medication. I have been walking a lot to try to get rid of this gas pain . As I sit on the chair it feels better than laying in bed but I become so tired that I want to nap

Yea the broth was good just don't have the urge the pain has taken over and medication causes me to be drowsy but I am still walking I still need to release this gas ugh taking forever

Yes thanks I'm still trying to relieve some gas but I have been ambulatory all day . Great support system I can't wait to go home Tom

I'm a pct working in the hospital not many coworkers know that I got the surgery just those who as well did the surgery and two best coworkers of mine. Very excited and supportive.

Dilaudid is the best for my pain just went to the bathroom and walked baxk by myself walking does help as well. I have been waiting in recovery for a bed since 430 my surgery took a little longer than expected but was still good . This is for me and worth it

Thanks and same to u I'm leaving for the hospital later on
