Two Days Post-Op

[vanessabalderas 10]

I'm in the hospital two days post-op. Overall I feel okay but i'm having difficulty keeping my liquid pain meds down. I've kept down juice, Water, and a popsicle but I can't seem to handle the oral pain meds so I've vomited three times. I'm hoping to go home tomorrow but I don't know if that will be possible if I can't tolerate the pain meds

Going to bed for the night. I'm hoping for day 3 to be a turn-around day like everyone says. Fingers crossed!

The first couple days are truly the worst, stay in there champ.

You can do it... I think mine was mental... Try adding to your juice just a suggestion.

I was just thinking about you and wondering how you were doing. I hope day 3 is the turnaround for you and you can keep those pain meds down. Were they able to do the single incision?

I'm two days post op also.....But I can get down my oral meds by mixing them with a little bit of Water.< /p>

I'm also 2 days post op and am not sure how I feel at this point. I'm happy to be home but feeling emotional and unsure.

I've been able to get my Water in and sugar free Popsicles. No nausea or vomiting at all. Can keep all the meds down.

I'm site but not in any real pain

Not sure why I feel like crying all the time

I'm holding on to the fact that everyone says these first days are the worst!

Hopefully things only get better from this point on

Congrats to everyone on their new sleeve!

You're going to be amazed at how great you feel in a few more days. I went home post-op day 1. I worked hard to be able to but I'm fortunate that my mother was able to take care of me and help me. She's an ICU and also worked as a rehab nurse so she knows how to work with post-op patients. Just walk as much as you can and I am a huge advocate for getting as much fresh air as possible. It truly does wonders for your healing. And get your fluids in as much as you can.

Are you taking Vitamins? What ones?

And do something nice for yourself. Get a mani, pedi or facial. This is a major thing you just did...time to pamper yourself.

Hugs!! It's gonna be ok!!

Thank you everyone, you've all helped so much! The gas is slowly getting better but i'm having a little trouble eating. I feel hunger pains all day and every time I take a bite of something or drink a sip of Water, it feels like my stomach goes crazy and attacks it. Then I get a very sharp hunger pain with each sip. Is this just gas? Please help!

Yes they did the single incision and I love it! All of the nurses were very impressed! Dr. Guske really is a genius!

Are you home yet?

I cried for the first week post op, my nine year old daughter told me I had gone back to being a baby as I could only drink and cried all the time lol. I am nearly 4 weeks out now and feeling great. Hang in there, things really do get better. Xxxx

Thanks to everyone for the kind words and positive thoughts. I will say day 3 was a definite turning point for me. I've been able to have applesauce and cream of chicken Soup. No problems with any of it! I'm definitely feeling more human today than I have since my surgery Monday . The swelling in my tummy is starting to o down and the bruising is getting lighter. I'm moving around easier with so much less pain. Just feels like sore muscles at this point.

I did get on the scale today and am still 1.5 lbs over where I was on day f surety but I'm not concerned. With all the fluids they filled me with and all the liquids I've been drinking the past 3 days I have no doubt this is normal

For anyone going into the surgery or just coming out, know that it DOES get better and you will feel better. It just takes a few days for your body and mind to adjust

Thank you all again for helping me though he tough days

I'm 2 days post op at home already. Using the Bariatric Advantage post op liquid diet/program. So far so good. Having to use the Gas X strips often. But not the Pepcid Ac yet...I will say, last night was 1st night home, felt good, slept good, but .... I woke up filling like I'd been hit by a train!!u Lowe back, my abdomin, neck and shoulders... I could hardly move, And the crushing of meds... ugh. Wishing everyone, you, and yours well!!
