No I’m not feeling any better. It’s the worst. I’m just being honest! It’s so bad but I am a baby

You need to contact someone. I dont understand why they release someone and your pain is not under control. Are you able to drink?

I’m barley drinking anything. When I drink two sips I get nauseous and feel like I’m gonna puke!! It’s horrible.

I think I feel better pain wise. I don’t like taking pain meds because I don’t like being “high” so I barley take any meds so I’m sure that has everything to do with my pain. I thought I would be able to drink?? I’m so thirsty

Hot water was better for me than cold for months and months . Feel better! Get up and move- a lot of pain for me was gas moving through for 3 days

I had RNY surgery Monday and today is Friday... & finally moved some of that dreaded gas!!!!

Had an appointment at the Dr’s office yesterday with the 3 other patients that had surgery Monday, I was the only gastric bypass, they were all sleeved, I was the worst for wear. But only 2 pain pills since out of the hospital. Drain was taken out yesterday also and everything is better being home!!!

Drinking my shakes and waters is going slow but it is going much better every day! Next Friday is the next appointment with my surgeon and will start soft foods.

On the road to a better life

Take your pain pills if you need them, walk and sip
