Just had surgery yesterday...harder than I thought



Recommended Posts

I had surgery (roux on y)on Wed. Very painful, gassy and weak. Any timeline on when I will start feeling better? I don't want any food, swallowing large pills is hard. How are you all doing?



3 days in for me, and tonight I finally felt better. Make sure you are seeing an improvement daily. Every day you should feel a bit better. Once I stopped taking pain meds (reduced them) I felt an improvement Ditto on the food, though. Nothing appeals to me at all. Just look out for increased pain.
*this morning I had dry heaves and was terrified, so pushed a pillow on my stomach. The heating pad and pillow are lifesavers!!

I was the same but at day 4 i woke up and felt a lot better honestly on day three i had a melt down thinking that I’d made the wrong decision I couldn’t take the opti fast shakes i hated the taste so i thought ill drink the Water i need and deal with the food side when i get home. You will feel a lot better when you go home and can make your own food and drink. Chin up you’ll get there

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
