2 days post-op and feeling much better!



Recommended Posts

Ok, I'm 2 days post-op and yesterday I was seriously thinking "what have I done to myself???!!!" LOL....Things are MUCH better today! Last night I swallowed all 3 tsp of my lortab at once and my stomach seriously rejected it. NOT GOOD. I've never hurt so badly after throwing up. Then at 3:30am I did the same thing (duh!) and, of course, it came right up too. SO, I'm taking my Pepcid to help with acid, I'm sipping on my lortab (nasty stuff) with a grape juice chaser. I've also been able to sleep more today and I feel so much better now! I haven't gotten in much Fluid today, probably around 12 oz, but I'm going to work on that tomorrow and I'm going to start my Protein Shakes tomorrow. I'm also taking my anti-naseau meds faithfully and that is helping a lot too. It so weird to HAVE to take tiny sips all the time now! It's been a serious adjustment, but I'm finally getting the hang of it! I was hoping to make it to church on Sunday, but we'll have to wait and see how I feel. I told my hubby at 3:30 this morning that I thought I'd just bounce right back from this surgery....he laughed and said "Oh, so you ARE human?!" LOL!

I did get on the scale this morning (I said I wouldn't until 1 week out, but I couldn't resist!) and I've lost a grand total of 20.4 lbs since starting my pre-op diet! (I've lost 3.8 lbs since my surgery!) CRAZY! I can't wait unitl I'm healed and can work out! One thing at a time, though!

Hope everyone has a great weekend! Thanks for all the support too!

Glad to hear that you're feeling better! I see that you used Dr. Nick, I'm having surgery with him on April 12. I'm from Canada so I haven't been able to attend a seminar or anything to get a feel for him. Were you happy with your experience?

I LOVE Dr. Nick!!! He is so wonderful. He explains everything, lets you ask lots of questions, is so kind, definitely no nonsense and definitely has wonderful surgery skills! I'm so glad I went with him!

You need to make sure you are working on your fluids..It is very very important Disney to get your 64 ounces of Fluid in. I would worry about your hydration before your protein..You have about a month before you suffer from not getting the Protein you need.

I was sleeved the same day. (3/8) Still having trouble getting in the fluids. My Dr said I may only get in 8 - 12 ounces during the first week, but everyone else seems to be doing so much better. I will take a sip or two and then in about five minutes have this tightening in my stomach. Can't tell if it's gas hungry or doesn't like the fluids or the size drink I took?!?!?!? It's all wearing on the nerves. Other than that, feeling good. Have you had the tightness I'm talking about?

I am glad you made it through everything well. I was sleeved the same day. I am doing just ok with liquids, still get the gurgly feeling inside my stomach when I sip, but I am getting close to my 64 oz. Protein.... I'm lucky if I'm getting 25, but I'm focusing on keeping down just plain fluids right now. Here's to feeling a little better tomorrow!!!

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
