1 week out and still in pain



Recommended Posts

This is my second day post op still in hospital and feeling very bad. Nausea is killing me. I throw up every 1-2 hours and still can't get anything to drink. I am very worried

I had my surgery on the 2nd and am still hurting, but do feel a little better. I was nauseated but they put something in my IV to sort it out, and now on day three while I still have some pain my drain came out today an I've been off IVs since mid yesterday. The drain coming out made me feel a bit better. Get your docs to give you anti-nausea stuff! I was really scared about throwing up because I was in a lot of pain and the thought of having to engage the muscles needed to throw up made me want to cry a little. Day two is pretty awful, day three will see some improvement.

I had my surgery on Tuesday, so this is my second day post op as well. I am still in the hospital, set to be sent home today. The first day was the worst for me but yesterday during the day wasn't much better. I was so nauseous and sick. I couldn't hold any liquids. I stopped using morphine and haven't thrown up since. That was definitely making it worse. I am still slightly uncomfortable but it's getting better. I slept on my side last night and it worked wonders!! Feeling much better

We're so alike! I did the leak test today and it's all good. I am set to go home too. I am feeling a little dizzy though, but much better than previous 2 days

Good luck going home and I hope you both continue to improve. I have to admit I'm kind of relieved I'm not going home yet, I feel better than I did but certainly wouldn't feel ready to fly etc.

Try mixing your pain meds with 2 oz Water. Mine made me so nauseous and when I added the water the nausea went away.

I am so sad to hear people are having such troubles. I hope and pray all those still so sick one week out start to feel better and things turn around for you all.

I had my 3 surgeries gallbladder, hernia and sleeve on Tuesday Jan 26th. This was the first surgeries I ever had. It took 2 hours and I was in recovery for 3 hour. I was very sick with pain on Tuesday and even Wednesday. I ate 1 Jello the whole 2 days I was there. I was given a nausea patch the night before surgery for behind my ear. I had 30 mg of dilaudid in recovery and for the rest of Tuesday and Wednesday. I had one incident of dry heaves. By Thursday I was feeling great and was able to go home. Have been able to get my 60 to 80 grams of Protein in each day since Friday. I know each person reacts differently but I was very pleased with my recovery and seriously doubt I will need the 4 to 6 weeks the dr told me to take. Tuesday I get to eat my first real food since Jan 24th an egg. I am not the least bit hungry and have no head hunger what so ever. I have lost 17 pounds since Jan 26th.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
