Megabuck886 62 Posted October 15, 2013 Just did my first CHG shower and things are finally starting to get real... Surgery tomorrow morning, I have to be at the hospital by 6 AM. It's crazy, I have not been nervous until now. But I'm still not really nervous, because I know it's the right thing to do-- I only got a little freaked out as I ate my last meal... ( i've been allowed three Protein Meal Replacements and one meal per day) , while I know the liquids are only for a few weeks, The thought that I may not be up to eat some of my favorite foods ever again after that is terrifying!!! I feel really ready though, and I've such a great support system between my family and friends, and online boards-- you all have been so great! Starting weight: 276, Current weight (after 2 week diet): 259, Goal weight: <175 3 Kiki75, back2barb78 and LindafromFlorida reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fallingwhisper 187 Posted October 15, 2013 hello guys I am 6 days after surgery and the pain is very bad is not getting any better is this normal? You should call your surgeon if the pain isn't getting better. Call them asap, it could be a sign of some kind of complication and you need to get it ruled out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
back2barb78 890 Posted October 15, 2013 (edited) hello guys I am 6 days after surgery and the pain is very bad is not getting any better is this normal? Aggi, you have to be more descriptive. If your talking about the gas pain yes and you need to walk. If not call your doctor. I see some people on here have pain postop and some don't- I personally think physician technique may also play a part in postop pain since they all do things different. Plus we are all different and have different pain tolerance too so just saying I'm having pain is too general. I'm just about as far out as you and still having gas pain under my rib cage in my chest daily intermittently, especially noticeable when I wake up, but once I get moving, I feel better. And when I take my first sips of the day, my new tummy protests. If I'm in pain, my doctor cleared me to take Tylenol 3 times daily which totally works and is all I need (I measure an adult dose of the liquid children's form). But anytime you aren't sure about something, always consult your physician since no one knows how bad you feel but you.
