Discharged yesterday from hospital and was feeling decent. Went to grocery store today with my hubby and now feel horrible. Back and chest pain with a coughing fit thrown in. Want to just lay down and sleep now. Is this normal?

Every body reacts different I was in hospital for 4 days just something my doctor does. For a day or two after surgery I felt crappy and then it passed

You just had major surgery your body needs time to heal you should be alright soon if not contact your Doctor

Good luck

It's a constant feeling right now. Keep feeling like I need to belch but if I force it I only dry heave. I know I need to walk but my hubby seems to think I should be running a marathon already. Which also makes me feel worse.

You should be resting with occasional small walks....and likely feeling exhausted. You had major surgery, your body needs time, you likely have gas from the surgery as well as swelling causing pressure in your gut. Be patient, this takes a while!

Heck, I didn't leave the house for a week when I got home. You have a bunch of healing to do and just that trip to the grocery store and if you carried groceries into the house...you probably burned more calories than you're taking in. Short walks is about it for a while, while you're healing. My doc didn't give permission for longer walks/exercise until 3 weeks out when she knew I was taking in enough Protein and fluids.

Thanks for the feedback. Yes I felt much better after I came home and slept for about an hour. Gonna try a smaller walk now and we'll see what happens.

They cut through skin and muscle rearranged your guts. You can't eat and probably barely drink and if he expects for you to do more than go to the bathroom this soon he's absolutely crazy....
