I don’t know if it’s just me but I feel worse today than I did yesterday after my surgery. Is this normal?

From everyone I have talked to , it seems like the first 3 days are the worst. Your body just went thru trauma and it's trying to figure things out. Rest and be comfortable ! Take it slow and you'll be fine.

Oh yes it’s normal. The first 24 hrs you still have anaesthetic in your system which is why you likely slept a lot yesterday. Now you’re starting to feel the pain, discomfort, muscle strains, maybe some nausea, etc. & generally feeling blah. The surgery is pretty major but in another couple of days you’ll notice you’re starting to improve.

All the best.

I had surgery 12/6 and I dry heaved for HOURS that night.
Today is better than yesterday for me.
I am sore from the retching and heavy all night. Can I ask what is feeling worse? Are you more nauseous? I feel like I’m more weak/tummy turning like car sick..?

Its very easy to get dehydrated the first couple weeks after surgery, which will make you feel miserable if you can't stay ahead of it. Look for hydration enhancers like Liquid IV or other brands that are more effective at hydrating and restoring electrolytes than Gatorade or Pedialyte is.

In addition to that, and as others have said, getting the anesthesia out of your system can make you feel weird for a few days. If there's any anti-nausea medicine you can take, you may want to look into that.

Also gas! Definitely get some Gas-X to help get rid of the random pressure and pain that can show up anywhere from your waist to your shoulder! Any walking you can do in short bursts, and raising your arms up and down while walking, will also help dispel that gas. It stayed around for nearly 2 weeks for me before getting rid of it all.
