Really sore after surgery



Recommended Posts

When was the turning point for people post op?

I'm on day 3 since surgery. Wounds sore. I'm having trouble getting out of chairs, the couch, bed, even using toilet paper after going to the bathroom. Was this normal for you too?

I'm on day 3 also, but things were a tiny bit easier today. I managed to get dressed and everything today, and I can almost get up on my own without much help. I'm still taking my pain medicine though, because if I miss it even for an hour, it hurts.

It was around day five for me. Hang in there, it gets better!

Yup. It was normal for me to feel that way. It took me 5 full days to feel even slightly normal. For me, days 1 -5 didn't seem to get better a little at a time like everyone else. They were just all horrible and some parts were worse than the previous day. But, after day 5, things slowly got better little by little. Hang in there. It super sucks right now, but you can do it!

Day 5 for me too. I'm 8 days out and only bothersome thing is port incision and bruising around that area. Just double up your pain meds and enjoy the ride:) Oh and sip sip sip

I was doing way better on day 5 and then I was stupid and pulled a muscle near my port. Feeling a little sore still on day 7 but thinking tomorrow I should be pretty much back to normal (barring any more dumb ideas)

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
