Day two

[red37 116]

Had surgery yesterday! Went well and I am doing good. Have had some pain but have been proactive in asking for pain medicine. They have been having me swallow pills which scares me but it has been fine. Very happy with this decision so far and happy to be on this side of my story!

Hope you are doing as well as I am. Fluids are going down fairly easy and the pain is manageable. They just switched me from the pump to liquid pain meds. Hoping to go home after dinner tonight. I think the scariest part so far was the pills this morning, but I crushed then up a little and all went well. Did you have the sleeve or roux en y? I had the roux en y.

Tlw- surgery twin-I am doing well. Had rny also! I will be staying tonight too, which is ok by me! They actually made me take regular pills right away. I was really scared but it was fine, All kinds! Did get liquid pain med too- toradol also have had Tylenol. Worst part so far is the uncomfortable bed, I just can't lay how I need to and not feel completely uncomfortable-hurts my back and back side!!!! Gas pain too but that goes away. What meds did dr give or is going to give you to take home?

I had RNY surgery on the 27th just got home a few hours ago. I'm doing good other than a little pain and feeling really bloated did anyone feel bloated afterwards if so how long does it last?

@red37. Just checking in on you. Wanna make sure you are still doing ok. How are you doing getting your fluids and Protein? I have finally have rid myself of most of the gas and I hope does not come back. Getting fluids and Proteins is a lot harder than I thought. The only thing I really seem to tolerate is my Isopure protein fruit drink and it takes me 3 hours to drink 4 oz of it.

Hi TLW, till now I haven't felt like being on the net! I was in the hospital 4 days/3 nights due to nausea and loose stool (they thought was C Diff, thank god it was not) and I also had a blown IV due to a bolus blowing in my hand on day 2-ugh, painful and swollen. Then my leg was numb and a little swollen and they did a ultrasound to check for clots-none! These first few days have not been like I expected-but not that bad. I am still feeling what I hope is gas pain on my left side near stomach and am running a low grade fever, again ugh! Hoping they are both nothing! Hard to get all fluids, but I think today I might make the goal. I tried a Protein shake yesterday (atkins) and it upset my stomach, so not sure I will use that one again. I tried a different one today (unjury) and it did not upset my stomach but the taste is something to be desired!!!

I am going to do the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup this evening and see how that goes.

I certainly hope you are having an easier time than me! How was today?

Sorry you had such a rough start. I have been doing fairly well, but extremely tired. So most of my day is spent trying to get Protein and liquid requirements. Hopefully you will now have smooth sailing on your recovery. Just make sure you take things slowly. Tam
