2 Days Pre Op Praying To Go Home Today



Recommended Posts

Surgery day I felt wonderful, yesterday morning awesome. Narcotics wore off felt like I've been tossed around the inside of a dryer. Lesson one sit completely up when drinking or it feels like needles going down. They decided to keep me another day. I had awful heartburn my doc says this is normal. On top of that I had these horrible stomach spasms. Not sure if that is the name for it but every once in awhile it hit almost like a contraction. Again my doc not worried. Anyone else experience this? On a good note so far im only on one insulin. Hopefully it will stay that way.

At this point I just want to go home and sleep it off. You get absolutely no sleep in the hospital! Im cranky if you can't tell and can't wait to feel just a little better

When you get those stomach cramps, sit up very straight and push your chest out slightly arching your back and it should ease. Also walking around will help. Tips someone have me when I was fresh post-op. Hope it works for you!

Speedy recovery with little pain!

So true! Stick your chest out. I had to stay an additional day as well, but what a difference that day made. I left the hospital feeling fantastic!

I was like you good the first day, and the second day the meds were wearing off, that was my worst day. I am 4 days post-0p and feel pretty good, gas pains every now and then.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
