Made it thru, but not doing well...



Recommended Posts

My surgery was delayed 5 hours yesterday. Made thru just fine. Woke up in recovery in so much pain. It's from the gas, but I have not been able to pass any of it. Iv tried walking but I get dizzy and weak very quickly. They are keeping me another night in the hospital because I can not keep anything down. Not even small sips of Water. Within 5-10 mins I'm throwing it up. Mostly dry heaves, but it's painful and it sucks!!! I'm just so ready to go home :(

I was EXACTLY the same way!!!! I was vomiting up everything I ate and dry heaving the whole time I was in the hospital. I was discharged at 3 pm the day after surgery, made it home and vomited/dry heaved that night. Next morning I was fine. They told me my nausea was from the anesthesia and the morphine in my pain pump. I only used my pain pump twice and realized it was contributing to my vomiting.

I didn't have any vomiting.I had gas real bad but I got up like the nurse said and I walked until I couldn't walk any more. I guess I'm blessed so much that I didn't even have a lot of pain. They gave me pain medicine to take when I got home but I have not taken not one drop of it. I guess that was a waste of money to buy it. I walk every day for 30 minutes.

Same thing happened to me, doc said mainly due to anesthesia n trapped gas. Symptoms subsided a few hours later after my nausea was controlled. Had difficulty sipping liquids when I got home but things got better by post OP day 3. Hope you feel better soon.

Y'all are so amazingly smart!!! Today is "day 3" and I feel sooooo much better. Gas has finally started to pass. I made them stop all pain meds to see if that was attributing to my nausea and sure thing, I have not been nauseous in about 5 hours. And I'm not in pain, so the meds are not necessary. Woo hoo. Gotta do my upper GI again this morning and I plan on going home. Ready does not even begin to describe it.

I had my surgery on the 28th woke up fine today a lot of gas. But you have to move a fight threw it. It hurts like hell but.. I have no choice. I am able eat Jello 3 ounces. Very slowly. Key thing is slow. And move. The gas pain will go away.

      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! 😞
