Day 7 and sick to my stomach

[LinsC 10]

I woke up with nausea. All loss of hunger is gone. I drank a Protein Shake this morning and I had to do everything in my power not to throw up. Has anyone else had this issue. Dr office suggested pepto and some pedialite

Today is day 8 for me and yes I have had some nausea as well. I had to get a refill on my nausea medicine but today I have not had it once. I take medications that I have to crush now and I think that might have something to do with it but Monday I woke up and ran to my medicine and melted that nausea pill under my tongue fast. I thought I was going to hurl but I didn't!! I think our bodies are just trying to get used to all the changes. I felt great today so far! Good luck!

Kpurdy what is your pain level currently? I still get gas and a stinging sensation over my suture. I can never seem to get comfortable. I went back to work. I work in a dental office and spend a portion of my time walking in circles. Everyone keeps saying walk walk walk.

Day 9. I couldn't have returned to work yet. Bowels getting use to the changes. Feeling good but realize I am still post op.

I am POD #11 and I am still feeling overwhelming nausea at points. I don't take the nausea meds because they make me tired and I have far too much to do in my day to be able to sleep like it makes me. I can't take in Protein shakes more than that medicine cup full and then a Water or crystal light chaser. My doctor says its because Im not taking the meds but does that mean we have to take them the rest of our lives? I had the surgery to get away from meds.

I found Protein Shots at walgreens this weekend! 30gr in two gulps. What I game changer. I have more energy. I can focus on Water intake instead of figuring out how to get enough Protein to keep my eyes open!

Its day 13 for me and I feel great. Starting to itch a lot in my stomach from healing and yes I get these little zings over my scars too. I was doing laundry this weekend and leaned over the washer to get the last few things from the bottom and BAM serious pain over one of my incisions, I just knew I busted it open but thank God I didn't. I think we just need to remember we had surgery and are not gonna heal over night! I need to find those Protein shots!! I worry about the Protein too. I started walking 25 minutes a day yesterday again like I was doing in post op. I am still weak and dang!! I am itching!!

Yea I just bought them over the weekend and were on sale 1.50 each. But my fiancé found them in bulk on Amazon. Day 13 and I have the itchies too. When did your steri strips come off? When I sit in the car for too long I get a cramp over my port site area. My 2 week post op is tomorrow very anxious.
