Day 1 post op I'm super sore.. the pain meds are helping but everytime I take them I vomit.. its making my stomache feel even tighter... I'm walking but it still hurts like crazy to get up on my own.. I feel so weak. I'm trying my best to do all liquid diet which consist of sugar free Jello which isnt bad but I can only eat like 2-3 spoon. The crystal light lemonade oh boy.. the smell just turn my cheek I skip that.. The chicken broth is alright.. They just bought me dinner.. hopefully its beef broth.. Pray for my recovery

Sorry you're feeling so bad. If you're still in the hospital, they should be able to give you IV pain meds or IV nausea meds so that you can take the oral pain meds. 2-3 spoons of the Jello is about right. You just don't have much room in there. Don't worry, it will get better!

I hope you feel better soon. My surgeon did a patch behind my ear for nausea and it made the world of difference for me. I did have a heck of a time pushing liquids and ended up back at the ER a week afterwards because I became dehydrated. So if you can tolerate it, sip as much as you can. Hang in there.

Hang in there, I had surgery on the 21st and am still in the hospital as well. Horrible nausea and can’t keep anything down. I guess this happens to some people. I was sure I’d be home by now but will not let this little Detour get me down. I’d rather they keep me here so i don’t end up in the er dehydrated. My surgeon said that it’ll eventually pass and I’ll be fine.. so I’m in the same boat hanging on

thank you.. I just went for a walk which help a lot.. Hopefully they will discharge me tomorrow.. But I'm in the same boat.. cant drink or eat anything much.. They said they will take me off the fluids if I did 5 medicine cup of Jello in 2 hours. I only could do 2 😿 lets hang in there!!! Fighting!!!!

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
