2nd night hosp stay after surgery ....so much pain



Recommended Posts

My surgery was Monday the 7th at 10am. I am in so much pain today. They havent taken my jp drain out yet. They stopped my dilaudid pain pump because I was itching like crazy. They gave me liquid tylenol with codeine, I threw it up. Now I just got liquid percocet, it seems to work until I move around. I was just hoping to feel better by tonight, but it doesn't seem to be happening. Thanx for reading my vent.

I hope that you can get a better pain management going. When you can stay ahead of the pain, your recovery will be so much easier.

I had my surgery on Monday as well. I never anticipated begin in this much pain or this miserable but I have to keep reminding myself that this too shall pass. I'm a new sleever as well so I don't have a lot advice to give other than repeat these words "this too shall pass". Hope you start feeling better soon!

It's ok Dimples, vent all the hell you want. It was f'ing painful, and I'm not sugar coating. I'm 11 days post-op, and still have some pain, in the incission marks, and if I reach down, or up the wrong way. What's the right way? I haven't a clue, cause I'm being careful. It takes time, and your journey has begun. I wish you all the best, and we are all here for eachother. Bless you, and hope the pain eases soon.

Hi dimplesonblast, I had my surgery Monday too and was absolutely miserable the first couple of days. The nausea and pain meds didn't work for me, they had to switch them out twice before they found something that helped at all. I came home yesterday and had a pretty good night last night. I'm still very weak and shakey, but I also, for the first time since surgery, feeling at least slightly human. I'm getting my fluids in and trying to make sure there are calories in everything I'm taking in. I feel like ,hopefully, the worst part is over. I will keep you in my prayers that you feel better soon too.

I'm happy to know I'm not the only one experiencing these feelings. We will all get through this together.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
