Are you getting your liquids in? Yea! I don't know why I don't have to poo!

I was sleeved on the 7th and I haven't even gone yet!!

I had my surgery on May 7th and most of the time when I drink anything I get a sharp pain followed by LOUD gurgling.. What the hell is it??

I am not a nurse but one of my degrees is is AA in Nursing. I have my BA in Healthcare administration and Business Management. I work IN HR for the state

Just quit. No excuses, just quit.

He does not believe in sending you home with pain meds? Well I can assume he has never been in terrible pain then. When will people realize that pain meds are a good thing? Our bodies are healing from some major stuff and if your in pain or fighting pain you can't heal right. If you take the pain meds then you are giving your body a chance to heal. As far as Tylenol goes... It's pretty much the weakest sauce you can take. I call em placebo pills cause they just don't do anything. If I have to take them 500 mg just won't do. I take 1000. My liver is fine and in not hooked on drugs. I keep up on my pain meds cause I want my body to heal properly.

Lol! I have a degree in nursing so I know that people are not really constipated until like 7 days

I haven't pooped in 5 days. I'm not worried.

(Sort that would be POST OP. Fat fingers and morphine don't mix! Lol!!!) Made it to the other side!!! Had my surgery yesterday morning at 9am. Horrible gas pains were my only problem. It all settled under my ribs. Morpheme helped! Big time! It's early Thursday morning and I'm feeling better my the hour. I'm so excited to be here! No regrets just positive goals!

I can't wait to have a bm!!

Most all doctors say no NSAIDs (Ibuphrophin, Naproxim) but Tylenol is always ok. I had an IV OF Tylenol in the Hospitol.

Yeah don't take diet pills?? That's crazy talk. Just take this journey slow and don't worry about the weight loss, health first!

Did your doctor prescribe you nausea medicine?

Congrats to you chickie!! I has problems coming out of anesthesia too!! I would not wake up (cause I hate being woke up anyways) and I became combative and it took 3 people to hold me down!!!

I'm down 16 lbs from the beginning of my preop diet! 8 lbs from preop 8 lbs since surgery.

I took norco at the Hospitol in pill form. My doctor just said any pills you swallow mush be the size of a tic tax. So he gave me a pill cutter.

When was your surgery again? If it's been more than a few days, I might give the surgeon's office a call. Try a heating pad and see if that helps. I definitely used gas x strips for the first few days, and they did help manage the gas in my tummy. They won't help if it's gas pain from the CO2 they used to inflate your abdomen during surgery, but that's why I was recommending the heating pad. Good luck, and I sure hope you feel better soon. My surgery was on the 7th I'm being released today and the surgeon was jut in here. He said it's totally normal.

My tummy hurts every time something goes In There.... Lots of nagging pain at the big in is ion point. I have walked and walked and walked. I think I'm gonna need some gas x strips

I'm here and survived. Surgery was Wednesday at 9am and I'm staying until tomorrow. (Friday) I like being her cause they know what to and are soo helpful. Lots of gas pains, big I suction is tender. Started clear liquids today and burned like a bastard. liquid Vicodin burns the sleeve for some reason. I sent all my family home so I could get some rest. I can't believe I did it!!! I even have a pic of my tummy they removed!!!

Thanks Denise!!

I personally LOVE the taste of my protien drink!

Well here I am! Surgery is at 9.

They have everything I need in them. My doc said they would be fine. But since I'm a freak I also take the calcium chews they sell and a separate b12

. Do you have a pre op diet? I'm the same way I'm not afraid of the procedure im afraid of the aftermath.. I just wanna be ok. I take the chewable bariatric advantage vitamins. They are so good!
