klr32 5 Posted November 15, 2012 Reporting in after surgery.... So far, so good. I did have a rough hour around 9pm when the anesthesia wore off. Had some terrible nausea and a headache. Feeling better now though, just thirsty. A little bit of abdominal pain, but very tolerable. Looking forward to my swallow test tomorrow and having some clear liquids! I hope everyone else's procedures went well today! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TaraInDC 55 Posted November 15, 2012 Less than 24 hours out from surgery - I'm feeling good, just a little low on energy and my tummy is feeling pretty tender - but I would say its uncomfortable, not painful. Dr. said I may be able to go home today. I haven't tried drinking anything besides ice chips so hoping that goes well. Hope everyone else is doing good!

fazekasr 30 Posted November 16, 2012 Glad everybody is doing better. Nausea may be from pain meds when you start walking it will get better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fallenangel2904 494 Posted November 16, 2012 I'm home. I didn't have such an easy time. He first two days I was in a lot of pain, and very nauseous. I did have several moments of 'why did i do this to myself?' My nurses were amazing though. I stayed in recovery the first night and didn't get moved to a room until the second day. Feeling much better today. Still in pain, but no no nausea! For all you people that were able to get right up I applaud you! I couldn't really walk around until today the pain was more intense when I stood. It's slowly getting better and better though! I know this will all be worth it soon!

ozeedonkee 145 Posted November 17, 2012 I got home today, so 3 nights in hospital. Boy oh boy, I didn't get it easy either. I was so nauseous day of surgery, and still fairly out of it the following day. But I've been walking as much as I could - stalking the wards at midnight. Helped with the gas pain, which I had around my diaphram and under my ribs. Once it moved up into my shoulders, heat pads were good. Today I thought I'd have a try at yogurt - 2 licks of the teaspoon and I was done. Weird! But 4kg (8.8 lb) down in 4 days. Now to concentrate on water/protein I guess. 1 Mrsdw206 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

J.Dawg 0 Posted November 17, 2012 Got home on Thursday afternoon. VERY painful recovery with all the gas. I got up and walked as soon as I got to my room . Every time they gave me morphine I got nauseous . I'm doing much better now. The first night home was rough sleeping but I got a full nights sleep last night. Just trying to make sure I keep getting my fluids in. I can't wait till I have a solid BM. Good luck everyone !!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
