    Sick and Gassy After Sugar

    I cant tolerate any refined sugar gives me bad diahreah and personally I'm glad I am happy to cut it from my life and have loved researching all the websites with lots of great recipes using raw ingredients.
  4. I had the same hernia repair as you and surgery the same day and my left shoulder is the only thing bothering me at times the pain takes my breath away. The surgeon did warn me about it prior to me leaving the hospital because at that stahe I'd had no problems. Even doing a wee makes it throb. Glad to know that a heat pack helps going to find one now and put it on it. Trying to take panadol is difficult as I am having trouble swolling them even with cutting them up.
  5. I've sailed through every part of my surgery no pain from incisions no vomiting but I have terrible pain in my left shoulder that is ok mostly during the day but at night time it's terrible I am getting up out of bed at like 3-4am because of the pain of laying in bed. Anyone else experienced this and if so what did you do to overcome it and how long does it last? Many thanks for any replies

    August Sleevers Check In

    I was on the 18th too and mostly I am doing ok except for having diareah anything milky or Protein Shakes and they just literally go right through me. I have no pain other than a little in my left shoulder I am struggling to do all the Fluid and Protein. I find soups are the best.

    August Sleevers Check In

    I hear you I was sleeved on Monday and did great in hospital no nausea gas pain or anything now after one night home I am feeling icky my tummy is gurgling like crazy I've already had a real loose bowel movement twice and the last thing I feel like doing is drinking anything tho I did force myself to have some Protein shake and now Water. I try and lay down to sleep and just feel so uncomfortable.

    August Sleevers Check In

    I am home had my surgery around 4pm Monday and its now 3.30pm Wednesday. I had no nausea and no gas pain the minimal pain I had was managed with panadol. I did also have a hiatal hernia repair as well which I had had no symptoms off. So far I've stuck completely to clear fluids mostly Water black tea and chicken broth. It all seems a little surreal as I am feeling just like me. I didn't have any emotional flatness or anything on day 2 as my surgeon predicted that I would. In fact the worse pain was from my iv in my hand where they gave me Fluid and liquid panadol up to 8am this morning.

    August 18th!

    I'm August 18th too and like you at times I get very emotional and overwhelmed with my decision but then the quiet voice inside says keep going this is the right decision just I hate change and I worry about how this may affect every other part of my life but I know I am in control and that all the changes need only be positive changes and that I get to choose my attitude
