When Did You Stop The Pain Meds?



Recommended Posts

My surgery was Monday, I went home Wednesday and quit my pain and nausea meds today (thurs.) because I don't need them. My stomach is sore but I am not in pain. When did you stop your pain/and or nausea meds? Also I am having to crush my other medications and they are awful to get down an a clear liguid diet. Any suggestions on how to get them down?

Thank you!

Day two home... no nausea, only sporadic pain... except the last couple of nights... cannot find a comfortable, pain free position to sleep... :-) All in due time I guess...

Surgery on a Friday, only needed nausea and pain meds for two days. By that Monday I could function without them.

I cut my Multivitamin in half, but I'm able to swallow the rest of my meds with no problem.

      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! 😞
