surgery Jan 16

[asifitsthelast 31]

Omg today has been rough. Even with the morphine and tylenol iv I still have a lot of pain. I had bad nausea and threw up Water from my ice chips. That hurt!

Surgery was just about an hour. Everyone here at the hospital has been awesome. I'm supposed to go home tomorrow. With all this pain I'm surprised. At each incision I have a bruise the size of a softball.

Hi how are you going now? Have the bruises gone down? Any more nausea?

Hope alls good

[asifitsthelast 31]

Still hurting the swelling has gone down but bruising still is horrible. Nausea went away bc I stopped taking my pain meds. What I would love is a full nights sleep in my bed. I've been living on the couch bc its too hard to get up and down. I only sleep about 2-3 hours at a time.

Had my surgery same day as you.. I have no bruisng at all.. I didnt need any pain meds.. Just for nausea the first night, thankfully i didnt throw up, cant imagine the pain!! Im able to do everything on my own, just very tired. How are you doing with food/liquid intake?

[asifitsthelast 31]

I'm ok on liquid. Sleepy time tea has been great on my stomach. I'm still in a lot of pain. Today I'm getting up and off the couch kinda on my own. My incisions burn. Mainly one hurts the most. I just wish I could move easier.

Itll get easier! Do you have staples on your incisions?

[asifitsthelast 31]

No. They glued me.

Hi there! We have the same surgery date 16th. How are you? Im still having gas pain, and hard to take in liquids. I feel so full and I have the weird feeling as it goes down my stomach-- and then gas pain! Which is painful!

I'm lucky if I can finish 32 oz ( 2 Water bottle) liquids today but I will try. Yesterday I only finished one. Gas x, hot compress, abdominal binder, walking- I did all that ;(

Hope you are better... Keep us posted!

I walked down the street today. The gas pain is ridiculous. Some say it takes 2 weeks to feel normal again. My gas is stuck in my chest. When j swallow liquid it makes my stomach tighten up. The worse of it all would be my incisions.

Hope you feel better soon as well

I had same. I had sleeve 14th. Feel pretty good today. Have that same weird feeling when drinking. Almost like you can feel it go down. Very odd. Friday was first day I met my 48oz req. do not worry....soon enough it will get there. I do miss ice Water !!!! To cold make my sleeve spasm.

Well here's what some of my incisions look like today. Those are the ones that bother me the most.

Also surgery on Jan 16th. Had tough time coming out of surgery, on oxygen 24 hrs but went home. I feel too good in some ways, wanting food like a saltine! I also have that yucky feeling as liquids go down or if something is cold.

Except s/f Popsicles!!! Yummy! And warm, not hot Soup. My gas got better after heating pad on tummy, laying on side with knees up toward my chest. Sorry to hear of anyone in pain!! Thought and prayers for y'all -

Well here's what some of my incisions look like today. Those are the ones that bother me the most.

I had my sleeve a month ago on December 17- the incision that hurt the worst was the large right bc that is where he pulled my stomach out, it will get better within 2-3 more days but the soreness from that incision may last for another week. After my second week, I was a lot better. Very tired so take it easy!!

Those look very similar to mine. I put a heating pad on the sore parts and it helped a lot!

Hi, I also had same surgery date and I'm not complaining but I think the weight may be coming off too fast. I've lost 43 lbs and it kinda worries me. Does this amount this quick sound to much to anyone else? I've started eating scrabled eggs and drinking my shakes and keeping hydrated and the only problem I've had is Peanut Butter, which I'm definitely stayin away from. Sorry to ramble I just left the gym and was down 6 lbs from yesterday and it was worrying me.
