Post-op day 2 and regretting

[MrsDixon 40]

A month out and I still feel like crap even though I lost 35 pounds, pain still, can't keep anything down even though I'm following diet, my surgeon keeps saying its normal.. Even though I vomit everyday even from Water

As I read this I thought I wrote it, until I read the last line then I knew it wasn't me cuz I don't do that thank god! But I'm having crap issues too ????

I don't know my surgeon is always rushing me through my appointment so nothing gets helped he just says keep trying u can go to next stage, I'm like I can't get past stage 1, I'm scared because someone told me if surgery goes wrong people usually die within 90 days of the surgery

It does get better, I felt horrible for the first week and then it slowly got better

Thank you for all the support. It means so much.

Does anyone just take plain old Tylenol this early out? (Now post op day 3)? I hate the hydrocodone liquid I was prescribed. 20mLs per dose!!! Makes me nauseated. Plus, narcotics slow your bowels and I am on a mission to get rid of this gas and distention.

@@Ashley1213 - Tylenol is fine but be careful if u r trying pill form. Generally no tablets unless crushed (different doctors say different things ). Meanwhile, you don't have to take a full dose if the hydro cod one. I think my dose was only 7.5mls so try a smaller dose and see if that helps.

Hang in there. It does get better.

@Ashley1213. Yes to Tylenol! The liquid Vicodin has it in it too. Get off that as soon as possible.

It gets better....take each day as it comes.

My sister and I were sleeved Tuesday, and felt similar. The pain and discomfort was a lot to deal with the first couple of days. Each day it gets better and better. It's Sunday, and it's been our best day yet. Just hang in there; it'll get better.

I had that feeling when I woke up from surgery, lololol!! The first thought in my head after the nurse woke me up was "what did I just do." It was a tough couple of days, but each day after was remarkably better than the day before. Yes, it gets better. And yes, I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

[LisaPunkinHead 187]

As for the Tylenol, I had my husband get me some children's Tylenol when I was immediately postop. Turns out I never used it.

I am 2 days out and also feel lousy. The gas pain has been pretty bad, but is subsiding today. I have been having continuous stomach muscle spasms, which are very painful. I'm hoping these go away soon. This is definitely much harder than I thought it would be, but I have hope that it will improve soon. Hang in there.
