Prob due to the morphine... lol

But in a serious, i am doing well. Four incsions across my belly. The hardest part is the lack of Fluid. Going o. 29 hours and it should like i need to wait for dr ordrs.

Good news. You are off to a good start.

I was lucky this way, too. I was in the hospital for 2 nights. My worst experience was post-op nausea. I took 4 different anti-emetics just before surgery, used Sea-bands, and had a scope patch behind my ear and I still had nausea post-op. It was barely manageable, and then they wheeled me (in my bed) to my room. I almost lost it, so they gave me something more via my IV and the dizziness and nausea finally settled down. I was up walking later that evening. I took one pain pill (because my bp spiked- and the pain med brought it down) and then another before bed that first night, and then one before bed the 2nd night. I had no pain from my incisions, and only a couple jabs of high shoulder gas pain when i put my left hand behind my hip to boost myself up in bed. I have to say, it's been nowhere as painful as I'd thought it could be. I am having more of an issue with staying hydrated as I "fill up" so easily. I am on mushy foods now and can only manage a couple of tablespoons before I am "full."

I had a similar experience my only pain was when i first woke up i had to wait like 15mins for them to put the drugs into my IV then for them to register but other than that i never had pain except slight gas discomfort, never took the painkillers they sent me home with, nurses were pretty surprised. i hope you can say the same for the next weeks

I think most of the no pain was from the morphine on demand. I am having pain during cerain movements no that i stopped the morphine. I have s high rolerance for pain meds but not for psin.

I am taking liquid vicoden now but only when i really need it. Still no shoulder or gas pains.

Sorry about typos. Drugs plus not a lot of sleep maked for "fat fingers"

You are a better man than me. I felt like absolute hell the night after the surgery and the two days after. On the third day post-op, I started to turn a corner and every day since, I have gotten better and better. Thank God for the pain pills!!

@@blizair09 you and I had very similar experiences. Same surgery date too. Feels good to be a week out. My mind periodically reminds me how I felt "this time last week". ???? can only think it will only get better from here. Post op appt tomorrow. Hoping for driving clearances and a stage 4 (pureed foods) permission. Only discomfort now is the incision where the drain port was.

I've thought about "this time last week" about a million times this week!

Good luck tomorrow.

I had my surgery on tuesday morning. I think i was lucky also. I had no pain at all. Not even gas pains because once they got me up that evening i was doing alot of walking. But now that im home, im getting ready to take something and lay it down. It feels good to see that scale go the other way

Thanks, @blizair09. It was a good visit. OK to drive. OK to move on to pureed foods, IF I get in 65 oz of liquid a day (I have been getting in about 40). THAT was incentive enough for me!! I am cranking these liquids back and enjoyed about 2T of applesauce for lunch and 2T of tomato Soup for dinner. HEAVEN.

I spoke too soon. Day 1 and 2 were ok. I had little pain and less discomfort in specific positions. Day 3 (discharge day) had extreme nausea that included 2 doses of zofran and something much stronger that gave me waking dreams or haluci ations.

Didnt get discharged until after 5pm, which meant we had to wait around for another 2 hours gor the traffic to clear. That and there is/was no pharmavy available to fill my meds script. Going on 21 hours with no pain meds and it sucks.

I can get down 2 maybe 3 sips before i get the pressure in my chest that i belueve indicates im full.

@@QueenOfTheTamazons feel better. I had the nausea as well. It does not feel great!

I feel blessed to.. Surgery 9/29 ... 5 small incisions... Walking one hour after surgery.. Removed morphine drip at nite and never have taken any pain meds... Now I'm glad to hear how other patients are same way... If it weren't for the 3 daily shots I have to take to remind me .... Then I feel I never had surgery..but I'm sure this can change too.. !!!

Sorry to hear day 3 is worse! Hope you can get your scripts soon xx

I am also 3 days post op. Not much pain and no nausea. II am struggling to get in my Protein and liquids. I was just wondering if anyone else had this happen, when I drink there is a little bit of pain in my chest. Is this normal?
