I am almost 3 wks post op and this has been a rough wk 4 me, I went to the hospital 1 time this week with serve Left side pain and very nausea it's been hard 4 me to take my medication and eat, it's hard to drink it feels like something stuck in my throat and i have been waking up throughout the night in pain, when do it get better when will I be able to feel normal cuz this get unbearable, had surgery March 17

What did the hospital say about your pain? Are you taking anything for your nausea? I'm sorry you are having a tough time. What does your surgeon say? Im most concerned about the pain. Did they do a CT scan?

I had pain for 4 weeks, left side. I used pain meds as long as I needed to. Nausea has gone on much longer but it's finally almost completely gone. I take meds for that sometimes still as well. For me, it's a matter of learning what foods I can and cannot tolerate cuz some will make me feel bad. Good luck and hang in there. Itmmight be a slow recovery but it does get better and is definitely worth it! I hit 100 lbs lost today from a year ago --woot, woot!

Yes they did a ct scan everything was normal they said, but I still have the nausea feeling and sick to my stomach, it's been rough getting fluids meds food and protein down

I'm glad to hear the cat scan was normal. Keep in contact with your surgeon.

Nausea seems worse for some with an empty stomach. Keep sipping. It will get better.

I was off work for three and a half weeks, I was feeling fine after the 2 and 1/2 week then started throwing up. I took phenegren and got better, make sure you are doing your walks and using the breathing spirometer, and sip sip sip, this will help tremendously, good luck
