kahlualouie 3 Posted January 28, 2014 Good luck tomorrow. Please know that there will be some pain. Ok, maybe a bunch. Post op day 3 I was miserable, but it got so much better after that. Walk walk walk and use the incentive spirometer. Take it easy. I found that hit liquids were so much easier to drink vs room temperature. I am 3 weeks post op today. I am feeling pretty good, a bit tired over all. The even better news is since 12/22 i am down 31 lbs. I haven't seen 270 in a long time! Good luck tomorrow! I'll say some prayers for you!

abordenster 43 Posted January 28, 2014 I was sleeved last Wednesday. When I woke up in post op my back hurt. My post op nurse asked me if I wanted morphine. Yes please, I said. This could be super cheesy so I apologize ahead of time. I visualized warm light pressing on my back and stomach. I new that this pain or uncomfort would eventually pass. I kept the light visualization while I was in post op. Which was a few hours because there was a mix up in what room I was going to. When I got to my room it hurt to get up the first time. It does feel better to stand up. My labors were like that too. Laying down was painful. It got better and the pain changes. I said yes to painkillers this not being the time to be toughing it out. I was lucky not to have added nausea. Five days out I didn't use my Tylenol with hydrocodone today. Now the mental challenge begins. Good luck to you. I think everyone works hard to get to the surgery date and being proud to be there is good! 2 kltklass and WestAusBel reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
