SuperFab 689 Posted February 25, 2014 I'm seriously tired. Absolutely no energy. I can get maybe 2 ounces of shake or yogurt in. Or 3 ounces cream Soup. I'm pushing n pushing my Water but it's never enough. I'm not trying to be a whiner but I'm pretty miserable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LindseyHeth 44 Posted February 25, 2014 I am out of surgery and finally awake enough (kinda) to post an update! Surgery took a couple hours. My surgeon said that my liver shrank very well and that surgery went great! And no hiatal hernia!!! I have 5 lap sites. I have some aching pain in my belly, but the IV pain meds are working pretty well. The worst part is my mouth and throat are EXTREMELY dry and a little sore. I am allowed ice chips, but I have found that I can get too much for my tummy to take! I'm nodding in and out from exhaustion. I didn't sleep well the past 2 nights. Thank all of you that sent prayers and good vibes! 7 Sarahjane79, LeighAnneF, SuperFab and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LaurenB8604 29 Posted February 25, 2014 Welcome to the losers bench Lindsey!! Get some rest!! Congratulations! After surgery my mouth was so dry and I couldn't have anything but they did let me use mouth swabs. Didn't take the dryness completely away but it helped!

I'm pushing n pushing my Water but it's never enough. I'm not trying to be a whiner but I'm pretty miserable. I feel you! I been working on this shake since 1pm after about 3 sips I feel like it's bubbling back up and I can't drink anymore !! Water is doing same thing . I was able to eat my Calcium chew though. My doc gave me all pill form meds which sucks I feel like they get stuck. I'm pretty miserable 5 days out too. Doc said I'm just going the slower route..

Fabyola10 0 Posted February 26, 2014 Hi everyone, I am Angie and I had my surgery 2/11. I was pretty miserable until like 6 days after it, getting rid of the gas was so hard. I have a question, everything I have makes me burp right away. I sip Water, Protein Shake, Soup and all is the same. Is this normal?? Also I lost 17lbs but nothing in the last 3 days and that freaks me out. I am so glad I found this app, thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I also worry about getting all my Water in while working I felt fine. I have a desk job but after lunch got tired and bloated I ended going home about an hour and a half early. Being in dress pants was the most uncomfortable. Thank goodness for a longer shirt and a private office. I ended up unbuckling my pants after lunch:) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarahjane79 397 Posted February 26, 2014 I get weird like, spasm type feeling sometimes after I drink or have a bite of yogurt/pudding. I don't know of its cause in full (cause I get them sometimes when I know I'm not hungry cause I haven't had anything in a long time) or because I'm hungry, or its just what happens. The feeling is like my stomach is spasming up towards my esophagus. But I also get it when it'll happen and half way through it it turns into a burp. So weird. I called my doc about my weird pains last night. Said it's probably normal, from my incisions healing and stuff. Told me to take pain meds if it hurts. I assumed it was normal, glad it is.
