4 Days Post Op Feeling ???



Recommended Posts

I keep going back and forth between feeling 9 months pregnant with a big swollen belly, and just having a baby feeling the same.

Am I the only one who feels like this?

I've never had a baby, but I'm used to having a big belly, lol. I was feeling super full earlier bc I had drank a lot of liquids, but I peed it out and felt relieved as well. I still carry my big belly around though, lol

I had surgery 2/17 also and yes my stomach feels pregnant I think it's from the gas they blow you up with for surgery and all the IV fluids I read it can take up to two weeks





Good to know!

My side pain is like a stab, it's not constant but it is worse now than when I was in hospital (I guess I was in bed much more in hospital) dr said it was the large incision sight and that there is an internal stitch that can pull, it's about a 7. At hospital I was saying 5

I definitely felt like I was hauling around a baby belly for the first few days. That still happens sometimes if my day is busy. I think it's normal, but definitely annoying!

I had surgery the 10th of February, I had mild pain specially when I drink something . I am having trouble getting hidrated but I am walking and hopeful . My incisions look like healing . I do still have some air .

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
