4 days post op

[mandyboo 21]

I feel worse now than I did when I came out of hospital. My tummy hurts all the time, all the way up to my chest,I feel like there's rocks in there. My incisions hurt, they are glued, no stitches. I have a weird big blister come up on my tummy for no reason. The injections I have to give myself hurt like hell.

I'm managing Water ok and some Protein, and a bit of Soup, I'm on full liquids.

When does it get better?? :-(

Yep day 3-7 were the roughest for me. Give it a full week and you should be feeling better. Is the blister from tape? Are you giving yourself injections as in blood thinners? If so make sure your alternating sites. Hang in there it sucks but you won't remember it a month from now

Thankyou for replying... Yes blood thinning injections - they are evil!

I just expected to be feeling better by now, not worse. But it's reassuring to know it's not just me.

Thanks. :-)

I'm sorry you are so uncomfortable. While you are suffering now, try to remember that it is temporary. When you are feeling bad, visualize your goals. That really helped me. Another thing that helped was taking walks. Even though it was difficult at first, being outdoors in the fresh air and seeing something besides my bedroom really picked me up.

Good luck with your recovery.

The recovery will quickly become just a blip on the radar of your life. You're making it through the hardest part...but you are DONE...you are SLEEVED! You've accomplished so much already. Every day will get better and better.

Best of luck on your sleeve and hopes for a quick recovery!

Im on day five and by far my hardest day as far as incision pain. It feels like a pulled muscle. I hope you start feeling better soon.

I felt so good in the hospital and then I came home and felt so much worse too! I could believe the amount of pain I was having and how uncomfortable I felt. I was told.its expected. Days 3 through 5 post op were my worst. Today is day 9 post op for me and I am starting to feel much better and so much more like myself. It still hurts to bend and I get tired easily but it's definitely starting to get better. Good luck on your journey!

You have to remember in the hospital you are on strong pain meds and that's one of the reasons we felt so good. I hurt when I got home also. I do think days 4 and 5 were pretty hard. It will get better.
