Fabulous February Post-Op's

[SoccerMomma73 1,867]

Made it home late last night (by home I mean my parents so mom can babysit me for a couple days). Yesterday was miserable, after I had what I think was dumping off the lortab liquid, I never really got the dizziness and nausea under control. I had several shots of zofran with minimal improvement,dry heaved the whole way home only to find out the pharmacy had nothing for nausea for me. ::sigh:: it was a long night. Finally stopped throwing up sometime after midnight (dry heaving, nothing to throw up!!!) still queasy and extremely dizzy if I move. I am burping and tooting like a frat boy so all necessary parts are functioning. I haven't had anything for pain since before noon yesterday and really no major complaints in the pain department (except when the pulled my JP drain, holy crappola!!!!!!). I did have a little Greek yogurt for Breakfast, my first non-clear anything since last Saturday! It was divine and had no issues with the tummy at all. Gonna get crazy with cream of wheat for lunch I think, something warm sounds wonderful.

So I guess all in all doing well. I will be happy if no one EVER sticks anything up my behind again....that was not a fun day boys and girls!!!

And congrats to everyone who made it over to the flip side while I was out if it. Welcome to the losers bench!!!

Just got home a few hours ago. MFP is krista1020. I have not had gas or a bm yet. Back and abdominal pain is controlled with hydrocodone. I Also got itchy- maybe from the morphine. I am on liquid optisource for 2 weeks.

I'm already getting bored out of my mind!!!! My mom had 'stomach stapling' 30 years ago and while she is awesome and the best mom in the universe, I'm about to strangle her!!!! She's trying to be supportive but also thinks a lot of what I have to do is total bunk and keeps asking if I can eat, x,y,z....and then seems exasperated when I say no (FYI, she had no pre-op other thanNPO day of surgery, and her post-op was to use common sense and eat healthy foods....so she was eating Soups and crackers the day he came home from surgery). I'm not hungry but I'd kill for a cracker!!!!!

I had surgery on the 11th I feel pretty good but find it extremely hard to get in all the Water and still have room for other things. I have very little pain. So therefore I think I am doing good but I know I can't live on water alone. I keep looking at the bigger picture and know time will only make things better. I have not pooped yet but have passed plenty of gas. I try to take minimal pain meds as I would like to go to work on Monday. I am from Port Lavaca Texas. I lost 17pounds preop and now have lost 20 pounds. Some of yahs stories seem so scary I think mine has been pretty smooth. I hope all gets better soon. Good luck to all.

I feel the same as you but I haven't lost anything yet???? I had surgery two days ago. I am also concerned about getting enough Protein and water in.

[GlendaB 16]

Did you ever dream 1oz of Water would be so hard? I really am so full all the time.

[SoccerMomma73 1,867]

I'm not hungry and I haven't felt full, i do get thirsty....so basically I make myself 'eat' an ounce of liquids 4 times a day and sip on Water or crystal light the rest of the day. Sigh. It'll pass....

[lisaarellano 20]

I think I can see my ankles! Yeah!!!

[slowtogo 301]

I am now post op!!! In a lot of pain. They found a hernia and I have six incisions. I'm very sore!!! My husband hasn't called me all day. That makes me sad.

My husband did the same thing.it sux.

Hey all,

I see I'm not alone in wanting to have not done this! I had to go to the doctors today because i was dizzy and faint. He told me I was dehydrated and needed to get more Water in. I'm so miserable. Emotional I don't know how much I can take. All I do is cry and wish I hadn't done this. Physical I'm exhausted, having werid hot flashes (I'm 28), dizzy, and hungry as I've ever been in my life....and I'm hardly sleeping. Please I hope this gets better...

[SoccerMomma73 1,867]

Under the heading 'things I never thought I'd say out loud'. THIS MORNING I WENT POO POO IN THE POTTY!!!!! Woohoo!!!! So all parts are working as needed. Still having a lot of dizziness and nausea. Truly that's been my biggest issue so far. Pain, not horrible,fatigue fairly miserable, emotions all over the place, but the nausea and dizziness totally blow :/. I'm still blaming anesthesia but if it's truly that it should be resolving in the near future...

Let's just keep rocking and rolling ladies! We got this!!!!

I don't want to bring anyone down, I'm just totally curious? Is anyone else really depressed? I can't shake this overwhelming feeling I've made a mistake. I'm feeling better, and I'm losing a bunch of weight so I don't get it. I'm just feeling very down like I want to cry nonstop. But I made this "choice" and I feel like I can't say anything to family or I'll get an "I told you so".
