roriep 23 Posted March 14, 2013 In a lot of pain. Nausea and shoulder pain. I was supposed to be released today, but I'm still here because I can't drink anything without feeling sick. All prayers are appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vs24 25 Posted March 14, 2013 Well, all normal so far. Trust me, it gets better. I only stayed one night... but would have stayed 2 if my hospital room would have had a comfortable chair to sit in. It took me a couple of days to get the gas out. Once that happens, things improve quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PetraLuxor 83 Posted March 14, 2013 Yes, the gas pains are incredibly painful. At least for me they were because I was inable to burp any of it out. Also, it doesn't feel like your typical gas pain. Had I not been told by my doctor that it was gas, I would have just thought I had severe stomach & chest pains. It WILL get better but I think we all understand that it kind of suck those first couple of days. Praying for you to feel better soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roriep 23 Posted March 14, 2013 Thanks for the prayers. I'm still here 2 days later. I still will not be released yet. I can't drink without pain. Has anyone else has to stay this long? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kadams116 3 Posted March 14, 2013 I struggled with intake for a while. Even 8 weeks out, I still have some issues. I had to start on Nexium because the reflux was severe. But hopefully you will adjust soon. Praying you start to make a quick recovery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

roriep 23 Posted March 16, 2013 I am kind of sad. All Protein stinks! I tried to use nectar unflavored in cream of wheat. I guess I shouldn't warm that stuff up. It started to look like cheese shavings. I couldn't really try it. I'm afraid I will get dehydrated because nothing tastes good!!! I can keep it down but it smells and tastes disgusting. Any suggestions? I'm so discouraged. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kadams116 3 Posted March 18, 2013 Yogurt might be okay for you. The only shake I could tolerate is the "body by vi" mix. You can find a rep or order it off Amazon. It doesn't have that strong Protein taste. If you like, you can put yogurt or Peanut Butter, etc. in it. I like it plain. Not too sweet. Make sure you are getting your fluids above all else. You don't want to get dehydrated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
