Hi guys. I'm really struggling with the pain. How's everyone else doing?

I'm right there with you! Got home today from the hospital and or getting the meds through the IV is killing me! I'm not having fun with crushing up the pain meds but I have to because of all the pain!

I am having a difficult time with the pain also but I have had no gas pains, yet. Are we supposed to be crushing up our meds? I've just been swallowing them, the doc didn't give me instructions to crush them.

Back home with some pain,but not too bad. Sorry you have a lot of pain!!! Hopefully it will ease off soon. I have had trouble burping. I get nauseous first the burp or heave. That has definitely been the worse part so far.I've always heard the 3rd day is the worst. Maybe we will all be on the way up after tomorrow. ????????????

No pills at all for me! Only had Water and tea since and that's quite painful. Think I'll be trying Soup today. I'm still in the hospital too and it don't look like I'll be going home any time soon????

The pain med I'm taking is Hydrocodine, and the doctor prescribed it in liquid form. That helps. I also bought adult extra strength Tylenol in liquid. They both taste bad, but I'm sure they go down easier than crushed pills. You might ask for a new liquid prescription.

Hi everyone, had my surgery on the morning of the 26th and came home last night. I'm really struggling with the gas pain up in my shoulder. Dr also sent me home with the drain for a week which has been a real challenge. I have a 1 yr old and 5 yr old that come home tomorrow, hope I get some more mobility soon. Trying to drink fluids and get my Protein like its my job. No nausea but definitely uncomfortable going down. Just wanted to join this chat to see it anyone has any tricks for pain or getting liquids down. Hope everyone is feeling well today.

I agree with you! Today has not been easy and it's painful. Just reminding myself why I did this and how happy I'll be in the end. Anyone else having a hard time getting in their protein/liquids? I have been sipping on Isopure all day and I'm only at 20 ounces. I was told if I didn't get in 48 ounces in I would have to go get an IV started.

Today was difficult. I've had 10 oz of Gatorade G2, 10 oz of Isopure, and 2 oz chicken broth. Broth was easiest to drink, the warmth felt good on my stomach. Also nice to get a savory flavor after all the sweet drinks. Trying some Jello now, seems to melt in your mouth and go down easy. Got hiccups today, super painful. Been walking all day trying to beat this gas pain.

I was ok yesterday with the pain - but today it is kicking my butt. I'm sure it is because I don't have an IV with 'happy med" anymore. The oxydone the doctor prescribed is not doing much at all.

Did you stay two nights in the hospital? I'm glad I did because I would have been doing too much if I had come home.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
