I’m on day 2 post op (sleeved 8/6) 1 & a half days in the hospital, I’m home now. Yesterday I could do everything for myself I even passed some gas ( gas pain is no joke). Today (8/8/18) I woke up on my own little pain and no assistance from anyone. I think it’s a mental thing. I also think it’s going to depend on how you’re feeling after surgery if you will need much help at home. The day of surgery I was soooooo weak but today I feel ready to walk some. A little gas pain and little stomach pain but other then that I’m doing fine for myself. Drinking is a bit of a challenge. Cold stuff worsens my gas pains hot stuff helps me pass gas. Overall, I feel great ! I will be back in no time. Now I’m just waiting to go #2.

Thanks guys, I just wish now that I had someone I could vent to. And when it comes down to it, I am hurt by my Mom who said she was doing the diet with me (she is diabetic so not recommended but she wanted to).

I know this is mental more than physical the cravings. I know this is my life now. But as I sit here and drink Big Win chicken broth, all I want is pureed next steps because just liquid is not me.

You can inbox me as well. Just look at your broth as a nice dinner that you can’t wait to try. For me beef broth is a piece of chicken smothered in rice and gravy. Silly but It works.

If only my stomach wasnt sending me waves of pain/nausea and I stopped coughing, I could work on my mind. Does anyone else taking liquid tylenol have it hurt them?

I’m still taking what the hospital provided which is oxycodine but I gave no problem with it or Tylenol. Maybe your pain is something else. Have you spoke to your surgeon?

I agree, call your surgeons office as soon as you can. Why would taking pain meds hurt? My not be anything but better safe than sorry. Good luck to you!!!

Welcome!
