Anyone that has had surgery within a week?

[aprilarnetta 15]

I have the same problem. I'm very short breath and when I do try to take a deep breath in for some odd reason my shoulder start killing me

If you're having trouble with your shoulder it's definitely gas. It's such an annoyance! I've been lucky enough not to get shoulder pain.[/quote

My surgery was on 11/10. And every since then my shoulder has been in pain! It never goes away.... ???????? nothing is helping me. ???????? Everything except of that is great! I'm able to drink 26-30 ounces a day. Which is good I guess, I have been able to do light workouts, and I haven't been in pain minus the shoulder issue. I just want the pain to go away! ☹️☹️

I had my surgery on the 11/11 and I'm feeling fine now. The anaesthesia and anti-nausea drugs had me completely loopy so it was difficult for me to stay awake in hospital.

I have so much heartburn and acid in my stomach it's crazy. Ive had to double my dosage of the anti-acid medication and that's still not doing it all.

I'm also finding that I can drink about 200ml every hour. It seems very high for what everyone else can do?

Mine is on Monday. I just joined...I didn't see a November 2015 support group. Where do you guys hangout on here?

There are a few on Facebook if you're interested in that medium.

Curvybritt I'm also drinking about that much - I was wondering if that was weird too. Any thoughts?

I spoke to my dietician and doctor and they said that thats absolutely fine, as long as you don't drink 130ml in one big gulp. liquids are supposed to go down very easy.

Try walking, lifting your arm up and down, but definitely call your doctor.

Have you tried a heating pad?

I had mine nov 19th. Felt ok the day of, no nausea or really any pain. 2nd day wasn't as great - hurt to drink & I had some mild nausea in the evening. Woke up today (day 3) with no nausea, less pain when drinking. It's more of the gas bubbles & pressure that are annoying. Today I've had a danactive drinkable yogurt (3 oz), Premier Protein shake (11 oz) and some egg drop Soup strained. It really hit the spot. I'm going to try & get one more shake in for 60 grams Protein. But no way am I able to get 60 oz Fluid yet.

I also have lots of acid / heartburn / gas in my stomach. I have taken the Pepcid but I also bought the baby gas drops & double the highest dose (2 syringes). It seems to help some. Was really tired of the minty gasx strips.

Hi all! Had surgery 11/16. Revision from band to bypass. Was very nauseous in the hospital the first 3 days. Went home on the end of the 3rd day. Currently I'm doing the broth, popsicles *by the way i dumped on a sugar free popsicle!* Water and Decaf tea. I can not stomach Protein Drinks. Can't wait till I'm on to mushy on Tuesday so i can get my Protein that way. Anyone suffering from acid reflux? Yet I'm taking omneprazole! What about every time i take a sip of water i need to belch. I think I'm too tight. ???? hopefully it's just still swelling though.

I have the foamy spit too! My stomach is burning, like acid reflux. I can't get comfortable and if course my mind is taking over and I'm panicking. I sleeved Thursday and c.d.s. Home yesterday late.

I had mine the 17th. Did they gave any zofran for the vomiting? I got some for the spams for the throat and stomach. I stayed 2 days in the hospital.

Sorry y'all are having nausea. That would really suck. I had mine on 17th. Doing well.

Yes! I tried that yesterday. And it seemed to help for the most part. I also tried the chewable gasx but that didnt help me.

Just had my surgery on Thursday! Feeling great, except for the gas pains! Any tips other than walking or gasx to help relieve the bloat??

[Jen Em Cee 1]

Hi all! I got my sleeve done on 11/18/15 and I'm on day 4 of post op. The pain on the surgery day was horrible & the gas on day 2 was unbearable. What hurts now is what I'm assuming is the staples on my actual stomach. It hurts to cough, bend down & sit a certain way. I've never had surgery so this was definitely a new experience. I've only drank Water and I'm trying to figure out the difference between "head hunger" and real hunger. It doesn't help that I'm smelling food being cooked in the house lol. I feel weak and have been walking more and more each day. Good luck to everyone!!

Hello Jen! Each passing day it gets better I promise.. I'm still having pain in my shoulders and now I have major diarrhea! I've been taking in 40oz of Water maybe a little more, don't know what is causing that. Are you guys having the same problem? ??

[Sleeved11/13/15 9]

After the first BM, I've had the diarrhea problem.
