1St Night Was Aweful



Recommended Posts

Had surgery yesterday (11-12-13). My 1st night was terrible. Couldn't keep Water, ice chips, broth ANYTHING down. Today was supposed to go home but didn't get to bc of that. Had bp spike and qestioned if I had done the right thing with having surgery untill good friend reminded me why I wanted this surgery so she put my mind back at ease. I'm praying these popsicles (only thing my tummy can handle)will keep staying down and I can go home tomorrow.

Oh no I hope you feel better! This is exactly what I'm worried about. I have a weak stomach as it is! Can't imagine it after surgery...

Positive thoughts winging their way to you. I had surgery on the 12th too and came home yesterday. Please let me know how you get on :-)

More positive thoughts are going your way. Everyone says that they question their decision to have surgery on the first few days following the procedure. They also report that the doubts go away in a few days and you are ready to embrace your new life.

Be sure to stay ahead of the curve with meds if you are having pain. Take them on schedule, don't wait for pain to build because it becomes much harder to stop. Pain slows your healing down.

If nausea continues, your doctor can prescribe meds for that.

Take it easy when you get home and take good care of yourself! Get as much rest as you can--when you are not walking, that is!

      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! 😞
