March 2013 Post Op "A New Life 2013"

[chellbell510 42]

Ok' date=' I'm now11 days post op. everything is fine EXCEPT I wake up with terrible nausea that lasts for hours. Sometimes Protein helps, but it doesn't go away until afternoon. Not sure why, but feels like pregnancy all over again! I've already lived that 4 times, don't need to do that again! Is anyone else still battling nausea? Seems like the best cure is sleep, but I'm back at work and - ain't nobody got time for that! Lol. Anybody got any ideas? My surgeon just ki da nodded his sexy head and said its normal, but doesn't sound too normal since I can't find anyone experiencing the same thing! Help![/quote']

My doctor put me on zofran, use as needed. You just stick it under you tongue and it dissolves. Call your surgeons office tomorrow, see if they can call it into your pharmacy, it works really well. Good for us post opers!

Back to the hospital I go. The urinary pain and the darkness has the surgeon worried. He wants the urine tested.

Kraney' date=' I just realized we have almost exactly the same weights. My highest was 228 SW 214 CW 209, surgery date 3/12/13 but I was wighing 221 the day I was discharged from the hospital.[/quote']

I am so disappointed I did not even think to get a weight when I got home! Went to get on the scale today....and duh duh LOW B! Dead batteries! Go figure hopefully i will find some batteries and be able to weigh tomorrow.

I'd love to know what you are able to eat at this point. I've been basically just getting in liquids. Tried some Soups, but most are making my tummy do flip flops.

I've only had Clear Liquids only, but today I made egg drop Soup and had a sugar free pudding. It was amazing. I did it a day early. I should get released for soft stuff tomorrow but I was getting headaches on clear liquids only. So far nothing's made me sick. I hope I continue to do this well. Gotta work on Proteins now so we'll see.

My first 'losers bench' story, went to have my drain tube removed (praise The Lord) and weighed. Lost 11lbs my first week of post op & 16 with the liver shrink for a total of 27lbs. I am so thrilled!!. So glad to hear that everyone is recouping well. Hope everyone enjoys there spring. We have a chance for snow here in Memphis, go figure?!?!

Packing for my surgery right now.. just drunk my magnesium citrate. It didn't taste too bad until the last gulp and I almost vomited it all back up. Whew!

The Dr's office just called and changed my surgery from noon to 6am so now I'm trying to rethink my game plan but at least I don't have to go all day hungry.

Other then this.. just waiting for the "shits" to come on. My stomach has already started bubbling. LOL

I was just wondering on average how long it has taken everyone to have their first bowel movement after surgery?

[Gibbys Goddess 31]

Pixie dust to Janel! How long to first BM? I'd laugh but it hurts. RNY 3/11 and I've had no BM, just completely liquid explosive diarrhea, 5-10 times a day. I feel like the bottle of liquid colace my doctor sent me home with is mocking me!

I pooped 2 days after surgery. I had diarrhea for a couple of days. Now just once every 1 or 2 days and fairly normal... well not much going in so not much coming out. My doctor said some people can go a week or so and it's fine. Everyone's different. It depends on how you feel. Wow! That's the most I've ever discussed poo

Ha! Leticia you crack me up! I had the "shits" for like 3 or 4 hours after my bottle of mag citrate. It was not fun. I can only assume you'll be reading this on the potty lol!

Best wishes tomorrow. I'm excited for you

I had to do two bottles of that stuff, was still flushing out poop when I was getting ready to go ino surgery they said not to worry about it that if I had a bm on the surgery table they would count it towards being able to void so I could leave early. I left early, I guess I messed up their table.
