1 week out and still in pain

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

  • I had my surgery on Tuesday, so this is my second day post op as well. I am still in the hospital, set to be sent home today. The first day was the worst for me but yesterday during the day wasn't muc

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

I had my surgery on Tuesday, so this is my second day post op as well. I am still in the hospital, set to be sent home today. The first day was the worst for me but yesterday during the day wasn't much better. I was so nauseous and sick. I couldn't hold any liquids. I stopped using morphine and haven't thrown up since. That was definitely making it worse. I am still slightly uncomfortable but it's getting better. I slept on my side last night and it worked wonders!! Feeling much better

We're so alike! I did the leak test today and it's all good. I am set to go home too. I am feeling a little dizzy though, but much better than previous 2 days

Good luck going home and I hope you both continue to improve. I have to admit I'm kind of relieved I'm not going home yet, I feel better than I did but certainly wouldn't feel ready to fly etc.

Try mixing your pain meds with 2 oz water. Mine made me so nauseous and when I added the water the nausea went away.

I am so sad to hear people are having such troubles. I hope and pray all those still so sick one week out start to feel better and things turn around for you all.

I had my 3 surgeries gallbladder, hernia and sleeve on Tuesday Jan 26th. This was the first surgeries I ever had. It took 2 hours and I was in recovery for 3 hour. I was very sick with pain on Tuesday and even Wednesday. I ate 1 Jello the whole 2 days I was there. I was given a nausea patch the night before surgery for behind my ear. I had 30 mg of dilaudid in recovery and for the rest of Tuesday and Wednesday. I had one incident of dry heaves. By Thursday I was feeling great and was able to go home. Have been able to get my 60 to 80 grams of protein in each day since Friday. I know each person reacts differently but I was very pleased with my recovery and seriously doubt I will need the 4 to 6 weeks the dr told me to take. Tuesday I get to eat my first real food since Jan 24th an egg. I am not the least bit hungry and have no head hunger what so ever. I have lost 17 pounds since Jan 26th.
