Any April surgery buddies

[karmanodrama 31]

I have some pain at the site too. I stopped the meds on day 3 as well. I also can feel my stomach and the little aches from it. Still very sore very tender. I try to just sleep on my back. I woke up a few times on my side. Maybe the that's why. Hope you are feel in ng better. I'm having a bad day first day driving and I guess sitting up so straight wasn't the best made my belly ache more actually actually felt it throbbing hope I'm not damaging it. Gotta remember it's only been 6 days. What a long long week

My doc won't let me drive got the first week. That is partly why I think.

I am having gastric bypass on April 17th. Super nervous!

Alright now, take it easy. I can’t sleep on my back so I have been trying to sleep on the side opposite of my stomach. It’s too tender the other way. But I can’t drive until after cleared by doc at post op visit. So you be careful driving so soon!

Yes. I thought it was because of the pain meds and I figured since I'm no longer taking them I could take a little drive. I'm able to walk pretty good well as good as my energy allows but I dont plan to drive again lesson learned.

Oh I definitely have incision pain. Your description I'd accurate. But it's only when I bend over or move. Lol. Seriously I know it will get better. Tylenol is helping. I am going to try your suggestion about the 3 oz plastic cups. I need to play a mental game with this Water thing!

That incision site was my worst enemy last night and today. Hopefully, tonight will be a better night, fingers crossed. The cups work for me cause I can get an accurate count of what and how much I'm drink. Keeps me motivated to get to the bottom of the cup.

Mac that is weird I did the same thing! I figured I could eat a pickle and that was like cucumber ( which they said I was allowed) the strong taste as the took the cravings away and they are satisfyingly crunchy

Right! I’ve gone through so many jars of pickles! Lol...probably too many!

Hope the endoscopic tube or boogie isn't blocked by pickle remnents! ! Promise me you've, been on Clear Liquids all day!

I really want a pickle. It's not on a full liquid diet sadly.

[MACPOWER 96]

Your pre-op diet is full liquid?

Goody, I want you to have a smooth and sleek sleeve, not one that is lumpy and bumpy like a gourd![emoji14]
