2 Days After Surgery! Just Got Home.

So, the night of surgery was horrible!! I was throwing up blood and gagging everywhere. Couldn't sleep at all. It was just a terrible night. They try to get me walking yesterday and I was too out of it to even move. I just needed pain med after pain med and blood pressure meds. The nurses were so nice to me and they became like family. They told me to come back in 6 months to come visit them to show them my progress. I love them!! Was able to sleep better last night. Woke up this morning...my mom helped me take a shower, talked to the surgeon and was able to go home. Finally was able to eat something today. Had some warm tea, jello, and chicken broth. Constipated, but hopefully it's just because I haven't really eaten much. The gas in my stomach is what's killing me at this point. Big gas bubbles yet nothing is coming out. It's just stuck there =( They told me I need to start walking, but I just hate it because it hurts and I still don't have the energy. But, I don't want any blood clots and I know it may help with my gas too right? Well, I'm pretty tired so I'm going to relax, sip on my isopure, and probably take a walk soon. Just trying to be strong and get through this. Thanks everybody for the support =)

i used the gasx strips to ease my gas pains after surgery. it really helped. i also spit up some blood. the doctor stated that it comes mostly from the throat being irritated from the tubes that help you breath during the surgery. walk as much as possible it really helps with the gas discomfort also. welcome to the "losers" side.

I was constipated while still in the hospital. I stayed 2 nights and was sick, in pain, gassy, bloated, you name it the day after surgery. They gave me 2 enemas that night and that helped a little. I started taking MiraLAX while still in the hospital and after about 3 days, I felt great! My surgery was Tues, Jan 24th.

Yea fattymcfatterson like JMarshall said it's normal because of the breathing tube that they have down your throat during surgery. I was dry heaving and blood was coming up the whole night. I was scared out of my mind, but they said it's normal for that to happen. firstday, the same thing happen to me. I was constipated and they gave me 2 enemas and it only helped a bit. I'm still constipated...I may need another one. But, the gas pains are not as bad as they were, but I'm going to definitely try the Gas X stripes. Thanks for telling me about them! I need anything to make this gas go away.
