    Today I hit a milestone. As some of you know, my mom is on a kidney transplant list, has been for over 2 years. She is an extremely tough match and no one in the family matches, but I am, by far, th

Yea they tried to give me Tylenol with codine but i flipped out when I tasted it, it was way too sweet and it upset my stomach way too much

I'm on the lortab elixir as well.

Sorry double message

I had surgery on Monday February 11th 2013!

I am 3 days post op' date=' came home yesterday @ 4pm, & I am MISERABLE!!!! I regret doing the surgery with every inch of me, I am in so much pain, I can barely breathe! I sleep, that's all I do, that's how my body copes with pain is sleep. But it's uncomfortable, I'm having horrible nightmares, I've become anti social I don't want anyone to speak to me or text me or ANYTHING I just want everyone to back off! I don't drink much because as soon as I do I start burping and farting, I guess I'm just upset because they didn't regulate my pain at the hospital, the morphine drip did absolutely no justice, I didn't receive an ounce of relief until I got my percocets yesterday morning and even though I'm still so freaking uncomfortable I'm so MISERABLE I'm becoming emotional all I wanna do is cry and scream I regret this so bad. :'(

I rather be fat and have my comfort foods !

I hope when the pain subsides all these feelings go away I really don't want to regret this for the rest of my life. :'(

I promise you this will pass. I was in so much pain for the first 3 wks that I had to sleep sitting up in a chair, I regretted my decision so much and wished I could take it back. I am now 8 wks out and 100% normal. I am down almost 60 pounds, I have learned how to eat and don't feel like I am missing out on anything. I went through an emotional breakdown as well when I was a couple weeks out. Things will get better.....

I am home, showered and have started to fart & poop. Feeling way better. Also had my first puréed meal (mashed chicken yum). Just checking in.

Roczy I hope you are feeling at least a little better now. Hopefully those feelings of regret will pass as the weight comes off.

Good morning all, surgery completed at 8pm yesterday. It was an open RNY due to previous surgeries and excessive scar tissue. Incision is 6 inches and pretty painful. Had ice chips all night with no issues, and I am very, very itchy on my back of thighs & lower back. Will update after I begin to walk today????

Ok February's....who's on MFP? I thought it might help for is to see what everyone else is eating at the same stage out that we are. My username is Kellyk2511

Armywife&mom, Glad to hear that everything went smoothly! How is your pain management?

This is my first morning home. I had surgery Wednesday morning. I'm on Percocet every four hours. If I don't take it right away the pain is pretty bad. I'm passing gnarly gas but no BM yet. How is everyone else going this morning?

Made it home late last night (by home I mean my parents so mom can babysit me for a couple days). Yesterday was miserable, after I had what I think was dumping off the lortab liquid, I never really got the dizziness and nausea under control. I had several shots of zofran with minimal improvement,dry heaved the whole way home only to find out the pharmacy had nothing for nausea for me. ::sigh:: it was a long night. Finally stopped throwing up sometime after midnight (dry heaving, nothing to throw up!!!) still queasy and extremely dizzy if I move. I am burping and tooting like a frat boy so all necessary parts are functioning. I haven't had anything for pain since before noon yesterday and really no major complaints in the pain department (except when the pulled my JP drain, holy crappola!!!!!!). I did have a little Greek yogurt for Breakfast, my first non-clear anything since last Saturday! It was divine and had no issues with the tummy at all. Gonna get crazy with cream of wheat for lunch I think, something warm sounds wonderful.

So I guess all in all doing well. I will be happy if no one EVER sticks anything up my behind again....that was not a fun day boys and girls!!!

And congrats to everyone who made it over to the flip side while I was out if it. Welcome to the losers bench!!!
