Less than 3 days post op but..



Recommended Posts

Not really sure. I am 9 days post op and just weening off the advil. I can now get out of bed with ease, sleep on my side/stomach, get up off the couch and floor without much pain. I hope you find relief soon. The heating pack has been a great help for me. I put it any where that is hurting.

Wishing You Wellness,

Sannah

I Was sleeved on the 12th - just left the hospital a few hours ago. Still sore - I find that walking helps with the pain - must say the first few minutes of walking hurts.

Thank you Sannah and Ms. Cali. I was sleeved on 12/12. I know everyone is different but I just wanted to a idea of what others were going through. If it wasn't for percocet, Idk how I could deal with it. I just gotta remind myself I can't rush the healing process.

What ever you do dear lord do not try and sleep in a high bed lol. My 5yr old always sneaks into bed with me when my fiancé is on duty. He did not like the idea that need to sleep on the recliner, so being the softy that I am let him sleep in my room, was a B to climb in it, it hurt. Well then it was time to take my pain meds.... I was a turtle on my back, almost had to wake him or call my sister to come over, but finally slid to edge to grab nightstand and roll. Talk about pain! Don't know if my son crowing in labor or that was worse pain lol!

I wanna say surgery Monday, pain till about Thursday night. Today other then the bed thing abdominal pains were gone. Just tender.

Sleeved on 12/11, check in Tuesday & check out Thursday. Wondering why I didn't get checked for leakage? Anyone else experience intense hunger pains (stomach growling) each time I sip on Water? Really don't feel like I am eating enough but isn't that the purpose???!!??

Hi,

I had mine done on 12/11 and I'm experiencing now a lot of grumbling and growling from stomach. I'm not hungry. Slight headache but gone within an hour. Is this normal the growling?

This is probably all gas and not hunger. Your stomach will make all kinds of sounds you've never heard before!

I was sleeved on 12/13 and have the stomach growling as well, it appears to me that it is the gas from surgery trying to get out. I am getting a spasm when i swallow that is not very comfortable but it ends very quickly. i am having trouble getting in all of my Liquid Protein, it is not easy to get down i have been sipping on Water when i am awake and walking laps in the house. the pain, (i feel guilty to say) is almost gone completely

      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?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
