3 days post op and starting full liquids

[JeniB 0]

Just had surgery on Monday 10/21. The procedure was done as an outpatient so I came home the same day. This was also a revision of my leaking LapBand. I didn't think it would hurt this bad but I'm excited to switch to full liquids today! Has anyone else had severe headaches that pain medicine doesn't help at all?

I didn't have headaches but I has esophagus spasms. Felt like someone was sets king me in the chest every time I ate or drank anything

Hope you feel better

Has mine done the 22nd. First day n night sucked...I had tons of nausea. I'd dry heave at anything I tried to sip. So surgeon gave me a steroid shot, after seeing my leak test showed there was so much swelling of my sleeve. Soon as I got that in, sipping was better for sure.

I'm super tired and finally have all the gas making its way out both ways.

Anyone else here have the super noisy gurgles? Their so loud...and nurse told me that what I'm feeling like hunger pangs, is really just everything restarting after the surgery.

I have that! It feels weird... like your throat is trying to drain but has a clog. It hasn't become embarrassing yet because I haven't eaten outside of my own house yet.

How are you doing now!

I'm doing ok. I got to start purees today and I can't believe how fast I get full. I have yet to feel hunger which is incredibly strange but I'm still exhausted all the time and having pain from the haital hernia repair. How about you?

I'm doing ok. I'm on full liquids, which feels like a slow methodical torture. Soups just make me crave bad food, so I've decided to leave them alone. I don't get full from any of these full liquids yet.

I don't get to start puréed until the 13th.

My energy is pretty low too. Can def tell when I've done too much.
