So Sore 😭😭😭



Recommended Posts

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!

thank you .. I'm so ready to skip to 2nd week where my body feels less sore.. I kept walking up on the hour last night..They were trying to ease me out of the iv med bc it doesnt last as long as the oral med..

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, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      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!!
