One day post op sudden pain



Recommended Posts

I was Sleeved yesterday and this morning I felt great! But this afternoon, after being taken off of IV meds, I started having excruciating abdominal pain and nasal congestion. I feel like such a baby because the nurse saw me crying, but I totally lost control. The liquid Lortab is helping a little, but too much movement starts up the pain agin. Please tell me it gets better.

I'm in the same situation. I felt ok until the iv came out. Very nauseous and in pain. They reconnected the iv. I'm still trying to go home.

I'm so sorry you're having such a tough time time. My surgeon came to pay me a visit and reassure me that the day after is the worst it will get and that tomorrow I will feel great. She also said that I need to try and pass gas to get the pain to go away.

The gas is what causes the most pain. You. Will never be so happy after your first fart.< /p>

Lol. seriously...after my 2 farts, i felt "reborn"!

Then you just deal with the discomfort of the insicions. Will feel like you did incredible situps. Thousands of them.

Then the real journey begins. Learning to eat and nursing your new tummy.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
