princesx01 3 Posted May 11, 2013 Just had surgery yesterday when will the nausea and pain go away? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
confidence 46 Posted May 11, 2013 I never had any nausea they gave me a lot of medication for that. For the pain I also received pain medications and I was told to walk, walk and more walk. Congratulations and I hope you feel better soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shelly13 27 Posted May 11, 2013 Give it at least a few days! I left the hospital 3 days after surgery and by the time I got home the nausea was gone completely. Pain on the other hand...that was a couple of weeks. Especially first thing in the morning when I had gone all night without pain meds, Today I am one month out and have zero pain. Today and tomorrow will probably be your worst days! I hope you feel better soon! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
QweenNique 44 Posted May 11, 2013 If you walk around it does help although that's when I was in pain the worst. My pain lasted a week or so then suddenly it went away. I stop the pain meds four days post op because they didn't do anything but keep me up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
T'snewstart 251 Posted May 11, 2013 First congrats!! Sorry you are in pain. I took medication for pain and nausea for a few weeks off and on. It will get better!! Hang in there... Walking really helped me loads! I felt so much better when I got home and was able to rest in my own bed. Hopefully you will improve quickly! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kennedy310 33 Posted May 11, 2013 I felt nauseous for the first 2 days and it gradually improved. I also felt a lot of pain (I wasn't expecting that). My surgeon said it was normal & I should take the pain medication as I needed it. I did and it helped a lot. By the end of week 1, no longer needed the pain meds. And somewhere in the middle of week 2, I woke up one morning & just felt pretty normal again. Hang in there... it will get better! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dallas Curvy Girl 70 Posted May 11, 2013 Sorry you are in pain. Hang in there it does get better. Follow the advice of everyone and that is to walk and take your pain meds. It has been a week since my surgery and I don't really have any pain just a lack of energy. But walking seems to be the cure to everything. So walk as much as you can and take your pain meds. I promise it will get better. 1 Kennedy310 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
makemyownluck 785 Posted May 11, 2013 if you're still in the hospital, ask for a scope patch. I had them put one on BEFORE surgery, and I never had nausea when I woke up. The pain tho - I was in pain for about 4-5 days. It gradually got better, but those first few days it was very difficult to get around. I'm 8 days post op and feeling A LOT better. I cleaned my whole house yesterday (slowly, and with help). Today I went walking around costco and Target with no issues. 1 Kennedy310 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gibson_girl 108 Posted May 11, 2013 Nausea was my issue, the pain meds controlled the pain. Lots of Zofran for nausea! By day 2 I felt like a new person. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
