home...uuugggghhhhhhh



Recommended Posts

ok, well i got home this morning, stayed one night in the hospital, and all i have to say is uggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.........

my pain tolerance must be a lot lower then most of yours because i really thought this was a bit painful. Bad part was my body didn't like the anesthesia, so when i woke up i was vomiting. They were also putting a catheter in me when i woke up...fun.

I stayed one night in the hospital I had my own room and the staff was really great. I slept off and on, and my neck really hurt, i wanted to lay on my side but it was difficult. I got up around 8am and walked around and got dressed but slowly and painfully. I came home and haven't done much but answer phone calls from family to see if i was ok, and sleep. I'm going to try to sleep on the bed tonight (I've been sleeping on the recliner)

I have a bit of gas pain but not to much, my incisions also hurt but not a lot, its worse when I get up to walk around. hopefully I'll be feeling a lot better in a day or 2.

Yup, surgery does cause some pain. I'm a wuss too! hehe

Expect to be sore, and expect it to hurt more when you move around, but keep moving and keep sipping your Water. You'll get better with each passing day. OMG, Heather!! You're banded!! Yay!! *hugs*

Glad your home K@t, it's like everyone has said. Everyday you'll feel a little better. I had a problem with the Morphine and was very nauseated. I didn't vomit, but boy did I feel like I was going to.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
