I had my surgery on Monday. I'm not gna lie, I woke up with a lot of pain! I stayed at the hospital for an extra day bc my pain was not in control. Today I am home I finally took a shower but I'm still very sore. The doctor gave me a measuring cup and told me to drink that much fluids every 15 mins. Is there anything else I should be doing? It's raining outside today, so can't really go outside so I've been moving around the house instead.

I also had my surgery on Monday. Went home yesterday. I spent the morning today resting and getting my fluids in (1oz every 15 minutes of Isopure clear). Late this morning into the afternoon we took care of a couple errands and picked up a few Christmas gifts. It felt nice to be out of the surgery funk and among the land of the living again. We were out for a bit and when I started to get tired, we came home. Now I'm resting again and keeping up with my fluids.

I think as long as you're moving around somewhat, you're fine. Right now our focus should be getting in our fluids as much as we can, and not staying sedentary all day long.

Do u also have the problem when u take a sip of Water or anything fluids it feel like a lot of pressure for my stomach? Even if I take it in slowly with the 1oz cup it still hurts.

[lucky8mb1 167]

Yes, it did start off that way with every sip. I felt it really bad in my chest. Now it only happens maybe once or twice per hour. My doctor advised me to take the entire cup in my mouth at one time, close my mouth, and then swallow to help reduce the amount of air taken in. He did say that with all the activity during surgery it's not abnormal to feel this way at first. Since it's starting to occur less and less frequently, I'm hopeful it will eventually go away.

I was also on Monday, and have had the pressure, my surgeon said it is from the air that is still built up in the stomach and that keeping moving will lessen that.

I had surgery on Mon too and I'm having a horrible time getting my liquids down

[lucky8mb1 167]

As of this morning, I was down 2.2lbs from my weight on Monday morning. I was so pumped full of fluids, I'm surprised I hadn't gained.

[sm8705 41]

[max206 4]

I'm up 6.5 lbs since I went in the hospital from all the fluids they pumped in to me. Talk about a lot of Fluid

[sm8705 41]

Omg that IS a ton of fluids! But you'll lose it so fast before u know it! They pumped me full of fluids too but I peed a lot while I was there.
