So I'm one week out and I'm still miserable. I've been watching videos and reading and it seems a lot of people at 1 week post op feel pretty good. Do you think there's something wrong?

I had pain for about two weeks. It took me over a week before I could sleep in my bed and probably two and half weeks before I could lay on my side. Most of my pain was in the left side. Then one day out of the blue it suddenly went away and I felt wonderful!!

Hang in there everyone is different.

Can you define "miserable"? At one week out I was still weak and tired all the time, and had a lot of difficulty getting my water in.

Like pain and I'm unable to sleep and can't drink anything without a lot discomfort

I am also one week out, and if I were you I would call your doc...last week I had to go in for two infusions, and think they helped a lot. I am feeling pretty good now, able to get the liquids down, and mostly pain free. Good-luck and keep us posted!

Did your dr not send you home with pain meds? My dr gave me enough for a week. I still have some left over but I used them often that first week.

Yes but it doesn't do anything but make me nauseous

Do you have anti-nausea meds you can take too? I am almost one week out and feeling pretty good, but still have a bout of nausea here and there. My pain is very minimal, but I'm sure everyone is different.

I called my doctor and she said it is very normal to be like this for the next 2 weeks especially for the teens. Just gotta get through this next week and should be good!!

I'm 10 days out and doing great.I was sore first 3 days but 5 th day soreness went away.I went thru surgury like a champ but i,do hve a high pain tolerance.Everyone different honey .Hang in there it get better.

I'm 7 days out. The pain from my breathing tube during surgery was by far the worst, but I have felt great since surgery. I had a really hard time forcing myself to get protein shakes and water in for the first 5 days, but something changed and I'm able to drink fine now without feeling like I want to vomit. Hang in there! I've also been really active and walking about 30 minutes a day and I think that's making a difference. Also, sugar free Popsicles are a life saver!

I feel like a different person today, I feel really good! still tired but back to normal!

This is my second day post op still in hospital and feeling very bad. Nausea is killing me. I throw up every 1-2 hours and still can't get anything to drink. I am very worried

Don't worry. Your doctor's Wil take care of you and keep you on IV fluids if you can't keep liquids down.

I was the exact same way. I had a bad reaction to the morphine. Dont worry day 3 I felt so much better and was able to even have a protein shake the nausea was there but nothing like the the first 2 days. Hang in there!!

I had my surgery on the 2nd and am still hurting, but do feel a little better. I was nauseated but they put something in my IV to sort it out, and now on day three while I still have some pain my drain came out today an I've been off IVs since mid yesterday. The drain coming out made me feel a bit better. Get your docs to give you anti-nausea stuff! I was really scared about throwing up because I was in a lot of pain and the thought of having to engage the muscles needed to throw up made me want to cry a little. Day two is pretty awful, day three will see some improvement.
