August Post Ops

[Lovelycurves 94]

All of my pain was gone by 2 1/2 weeks post op. but was minimal at almost 2 weeks post op. I am now about 4 1/2 weeks post op and feeling like I can do cart wheels lol I can't do them yet but feel good enough to do them!

About how long did it take for the pain at the surgery site to go away? It feels like the time I had bruised ribs. I'm only a week out so I figure I'll still have some pain. I'm just ready for that to be over with.

I'm with you

I am still a little sore, especially if I fall asleep on either of my sides or if i really need to do a big head to toe stretch. But for the most part I feel fine 2.5 wks post.

I did something really stupid last night and ate a piece of cheese. Yesterday was a bad food day and I was up late by myself. I didn't throw up, but also haven't had a bm yet today. Hoping it's not going to be a problem. I threw the rest of the cheese out so I can't make the same mistake again.

Looks like I'm ok despite my mistake. Won't be doing that again.

I am almost three weeks post op and I still have a little pain but nothing that I can't handle.

Sucky thing happened today. I used to hardly be able to eat eggs because they gave me such indigestion that it made my back hurt.

Well, I'm in the stage where I can have eggs. I actually like egg salad so I boiled some eggs and mixed one with some light mayo. It was decent.

Holy mother of indigestion! Guess I still can't eat eggs! It was twice as bad with a smaller stomach I guess. I guess I thought it wouldn't still affect me like that! So much for eggs for protein!

Every time something doesn't sit well my back hurts so bad!

I had deviled eggs tonight and it didn't agree at all. Funny thing is that I have been eating egg/potato salad a lot lately and no problems. Maybe just cause it's eggs by themselves?

If your body only wants to sleep during the say instead of night, then stay up at night and work on getting your fluids in then. You have to work with what you have and getting your fluids in is so incredibly important. You should also see your surgeon/doctor about not being able to sleep with the pain and that you haven't had a BM in so long. Maybe you need stronger pain meds for now or you aren't taking enough of them. The no BM in 2.5 weeks is really concerning though. Please see your surgeon asap.

HI! Its my first post! I had RNY laparscopic surgery on Aug 29. So far its been an interesting experience. I still feel crummy from the surgery and have developed a nagging annoying escalating pain under my right rib, At the post op, they gave me tramadol for the pain so i use it to rest at night. My energy levels are coming back and I spent the morning shopping with the hubster. i have had no nausea at and am still trying to listen to the new pouch and reworked digestive system for clues. Today I got very hungry and i got excited to recognize it. LOL So far no dumping syndrome at all. I have PCOS and Type II Diabetes and have already noticed my feet and ankles are losing those brown spots that are so common for us diabetics. I have dark pigmented skin from the PCOS on the back of my neck and that is also lightening. Its amazing that these changes are happening only 10 days out from surgery!

I very much appreciate hearing from and reading the experiences shared! It is gratifying to know how much in common we all have!

I seem to be having as many good days as bad. I feel great one day, and exhausted and tired and lethargic the next. Maybe I'm doing too much and pushing too hard on the good days. Still being on liquids is taking a toll. My nutrition options are very limited so some days I just don't care and don't bother trying to get it all in. The Protein Shakes I have now make me gag except the hot chocolate and beef broth ones. Milk I can drink. flavored water. But Protein wise I'm totally falling behind.
