Oh i don't miss those days. I know children are so sad when that happens also apologetic. I feel for you hope you got some rest. I woke up headache free so 😍 i believe i had sedation still in my body but it seems to be out. Thank God for that headache being gone. I feel so better i will dress and walk outside later on. Your posts and concerns kept me striving. 😎

How's the baby this morning?

I am always freezing! My PCP actually told me to expect it from now on. She also had bariatric surgery done about 10 years ago.

Freezing is not cool unless you are in a tropical climate. I hope you feel better @esaad.

Finally, had one hopefully it will flush all the anesthesia and muscle relaxant out my body that they put in during the surgery. Also, they took blood which said i had high blood levels which scared me that i almost crap on myself. The doctor said those results were probably watered down so disregard them. I have an appointment with my pcp next week.

Hey @Apple1 Is the surgery all you anticipated or is it something else? If i didn't have the headaches i would be completely happy with going through it. Now headaches have past so im happy.

I fell asleep about 8pm. Didn't wake until 10pm. Apparently my husband got the kids to bed and took off to work without me realizing anything. Lol

went to the bathroom, still no bm, brushed my teeth and come out to my just turned 4 year old on my bed. She says "I throwed up!" I'm hoping she meant in her bed...nope, my bed. 😑 I can't very well sleep in it, and my husband was already gone, no other choice but to do it myself. I do the best I can to remove the heavy sheets and mattress protector (we have it for cases as these-my kids). I went slow, but feeling so bad in the abdominal afterwards. I should be fine, it's just the strain, I guess. could also be in the head too, cause I literally get sick when I think of or see anyone throw up too. Maybe a combo. Anyway, poor hubs, he's to deal with the chunk issue in he morning. Nasty!!!

Well, I feel tired enough to go back to sleep again...so goodnight y'all! 😴

Sorry you are feeling a little rough. I haven't had a BM yet either, but I think it is normal to take several days for that to happen.

Has anyone noticed that they get cold easy? I have been getting chilled a lttle everyday and I have been thinking it is from lack of calories.

I don't know how much I've been drinking. Plenty though. But I even forgot I had surgery for a split second when I took a gulp of Water. Went down fine, but went back to sipping. Definitely nothing ice cold. Sorry you're unable to keep it down. Keep trying though.

Hi all, everyday i read the posts and all are definitely in my prayers and thoughts. For a person who isn't active before surgery it sure took a toll on my body. Meds i normally have been changed to some degree so that takes getting used to and my headaches are getting better. Yesterday, i wiped myself out trying to build rome in a day. From 11:45pm to 2am, i ran to the bathroom almost dumping reading articles bout dehydration and headaches. Thank God a wet towel warm shower stopped me from dumping. Im ok this morning will take it slow but i am going to meet my goals just slow down and stop trying build rome in one day.

Hi guys, i am doing well sipping the liquids everything is going down great except everytime i sleep i wake up with headaches so got up and got dressed and walked slowly for a little bit. Came back home almost passed out but felt good.

My surgeon came in and explained it to me. I noticed mine happen a lot after I drink Water. He says it's quite normal, especially with cold Water. If I stick to room temp or warm/hot liquids, it won't spasm so much. So my liquid breakfast was brought in, I had the hot broth. No contractions. I'm drinking the hot coffee, none there either. I think I'll be sticking to room temp and hot drinks until I heal a bit more. They're very uncomfortable. @Sweet as peaches, you home now?

Im home will be out and about walking in the neighborhood with my daughter. They want me walking as much as possible. So I'm going to do that once my medicine gets here to stop that headache.

So, besides the lights being on, I'm doing well. I can drink my Water with no problems now. I'm having what feels like contractions. It's really weird, painful too. Comes in waves. If it keeps up, I'll be buzzing the nurse. Anyone else with "contractions"? Don't know what they'd be called....

@Newme17 i thought it was just me but im experiencing the same things it comes from the part where the pulled out my stomach. I had these nagging headaches.

That is great @Sweet as peaches. I have only been allowed ice chips so far. I will have a leak test this morning and once I pass that I will have broth and Jello.

I was pretty groggy yesterday also and nauseous. I feel much better today and was walking around my floor at 5 am.

I hope you get to go home today!

I have to go home in a hospital gown cause my daughter took my clothes and we live in a whole another area which 200 miles away.

I was like that too. I woke up from surgery very nauseous and I had a couple of dry heaves the first few hours. My gas pains are worse than anything else. I feel it in my chest right between my breasts. I haven't walked much yet because everytime I stand up I feel so nauseous I am afraid I will throw up.

Did your throat hurt? Mine is a little sore.

I hope everyone is doing ok. I am already feeling a little better and I am thinking today I wii be able to get more walking done.

Hi everyone

Just checking in been extremely groggy yesterday, I have a little pain but otherwise o.k. i also walked and passed gas. No pain in my shoulder Thank God the advancing me to Protein Shakes. Possibly going home today.

Problem is...I can't sleep. Stomach is just growling here. I might consider getting a Protein Water, but that makes me super thirsty. I don't want to get up to use the restroom in the night either. I forgot my pickles at work and I had my limit of carrots I should have gone to the store.....

What to do? what to do?

I just woke to take my night medicine couple hours overdue but i will doze back off soon. Everyone enjoy their weekend.

That is awesome @Sweet as peaches. You are probably the first surgery of the day!

I call them back to make sure i wasn't hearing things or being punked. It's true 5a.m.

They called and said i have to be there by 5a.m. so i have to leave my apartment at 3a.m. cause transportation picking me and it's a long drive.
