I'm on day 10 post op and I feel miserable. I wasn't able to get my drain taken out on Friday. The nurse said I still had too much fluid. Just when the gas pain went away' date=' it came back but worse when i started protein shakes. Had several diarrhea episodes and I don't have an appetite. I'm back to clear fluids. The pain in my chest is just depressing. I'm trying to stay positive and remember that I had lapband removal, hiatal repair and the bypass in one surgery. I pray this will be better this week.[/quote']

That sucks pumpkin, I'm sorry you're having such a hard time. Feel better soon, keep taking your pain killers and sleep sleep sleep when you can :-) Most healing is done when we're asleep.

Sorry to hear pumpkin. I hope you feel better soon! I never had a drain. Felt really good the first few days. I don't see how I'm gonna eat when the thought of food makes me sick! Go to doc on Wed for 1 week follow up. Thanks uk for the replies. I'm hanging in there.

I thought that it could be dumping because the Tylenol has high fructose in it. But would that cause diarrhea all day? Won't be taking that again.

It does sound like dumping. I had my first 'dump' the day after I was home from the hospital. I had a powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury shake with milk and drank it fine. Felt a little hunger an hour later and tried another shake. Wasn't even half way through before I started to tell really hot, and sweaty. Then I felt jittery and couldn't sit still. Wasn't expecting to dump on a Protein shake. Not sure if it was the milk or just having too much. My doc said we could take regular Tylenol pills, instead of liquid. Hope you feel better soon!

Thanks cheryl-s. I just feel like crap. Just sent boyfriend to get me some Tylenol pills cause I have a massive headache. I think I'm dehydrated too.

Harleychic13 try to sip on liquids as much as possible so you don't end up in the hospital for IV fluids. I hope you feel better

I've heard that the first stall often happens around two weeks. I haven't lost any lbs for a few days. However, vie also heard that inches are lost during stalls. That's what keeps me going.

Wishing you a speedy recovery! So inspiring to know the great possibility of being off meds!

I've been having upper back pain. Do you think it's gas?

I think so, because I have it too!
