Still miserable! When will it stop?

[LaylaJ 17]

I'm 2 weeks post op today and still miserable! I am nauseated all the time!!!! I'm still sore. It seems that everything makes me sick. I haven't been able to get the Protein Shakes down in about a week. Has anyone else still felt this badly 2 weeks later and when should I expect to see a difference with the way I am feeling?

No, I can't say that was my experience. Did your doc give you any kind of anti-nausea med? Keep pushing the fluids to avoid dehydration.

I'm just under one week post op and it's been smooth sailing for me. I've only been uncomfortable when my wife's cat jumped on my belly last night while I was sleeping.< /p>

My maltese doggie jumped on my stomach while I was laying on the sofa!! He usually does that to jump on the back of the sofa and look out the sliding glass door. Good gawd I hollered!! I actually dont think it hurt that bad but I screamed like it did!

Walk! Im almost 4 weeks post op and found the more active I was, the better I felt. I was miserable the first week and now feel 100%+ better. I ditched the shakes and drank Isopure and greek yogurt. I can eat about a half cup of anything if I chew it really good and eat slow.

LaylaJ, it may take some time. I am 3 weeks and still have NO ENERGY!! Everybody will have a different healing process so dont get discouraged. See if your doc can recommend something for the naseau. You will be fine!

yes, absolutely contact your doctor about the nausea...it may be because you are not getting in enough Fluid...so they may need to give you an iv drip... pinch your skin and twist it a bit, does it go right back or does it stay in that spot for a few seconds? If it does, you are probably dehydrated...

CALL CALL CALL...you need to take care of YOU

i was miserable for the first 3 or 4 days, but i was almost back to nomal within 2 weeks. Maye sure you stay hydrated and honestly walking around and moving more does help you bounce back quicker. Everyday should get slightly better than the one before. I'm sure that in a few days you will notice a big difference in the way you feel.

It took me about 5-6 weeks to feel like a human again.

My husband and I had smooth sailing too, no pain or nausea. I went grocery shopping 3 days post surgery. If anyone is really sick they should be calling their doctor. They are paid good money to hear our problems!

Oh Hun so sorry ur feeling this way. Mines didn't last 2 weeks but it was the worst thing I've ever experienced. If I walked it was as if I was stirring the pot and was unbelievably horrible. Day 3 I cried to my dr while still in the hospital that there has to be something stronger than zofran because it's not helping at all!! The sea sickness patch was applied behind my ear in addition to the zofran as well as discontinued my iv pain meds switching me to oral pain meds and oh what a difference. That patch lasted 3 days and not an issue with nausea since. What they did say to me when I left the hospital was to take my nausea meds before I eat and when I do eat tiny tiny sips of liquids which was my eating back then lol. I'm so sorry I completely understand how horrible the nausea feels and hope it gets better fast. Oh wait they also put my on Maylox for the burning sensation in my chest and sleeve when I swallowed. That was also helpful

I know you posted earlier this month about smoking - is you finally give that up? Maybe it's a combination of withdrawal maybe?

O-Town Body Rock,

A Maltese! Good thing it wasn't a chocolate lab!
