Day 4 post-op

[poginut 112]

Four days! Everything is well! After passing gas, I was worried about not having BM! But that went to passed too! Now I'm just suffering when the wifey cooks! Smells good but i don't get hungry! She can't help it, she still has to cook for two growing boys! As far as pain, I could honestly say if I had to scale it 1-10, I would say zero! Except for those times when I forget that I had surgery recently and I move too quick, like getting up from the coach! Have no problems in keeping anything in, just got remember to sipsipsipsip! Quick recovery to all and happy sleeving to those getting ready.

@@poginut glad you are doing well. that is awesome. first few weeks are crazy. definitely lots to learn after surgery. teaching your body how to eat and paying attention to what goes inside you. good work. pretty fun once you see those pounds start to come off!

Have a question when did you stop feeling belly pain and nausea. .how much is to much on Protein Shakes any answers

[auntjanny 289]

My nutritionist said you can't OD on Protein, if that is any help.

[newlady2015 7]

Okay and the nauseous and belly pain when does that stop a week

Amen to Rovobay. It is nuts! Don't worry about a thing. My mantra is Take pain meds and rest! I overdid in the beginning and pulled an interior stitch. Not good!! So do your best to take it easy, don't push yourself, don't compare yourself, and rest! Congratulations !!

Mavsfan, I doubt we could consume too much Protein with our itty bitty tummies now. Gas pain varies. Mine was a week, others longer, but it does get better. My belly was very sore in general the first week, I was pretty immobilized by it. The second week, I had pain in that main incision only but it was bad. Then it all just sort of went away by end of week 2. I have some incision soreness now but it's minor. I don't even take tylenol. My advise: first two weeks were hard for me and may be for you. Rest and sleep through it as much as you can and take those pain meds. I promise it gets better pretty quickly... Much faster for me than my hysterectomy!
