Are you in the hospital, or outpatient? If you're at the hospital, can you tell them you're in too much pain. Maybe they can give you more pain medication. I'm hurting too, and scared...I think it's pretty normal.

Hello all!

Glad we made it through. I'm in pain too, and I'm hungry I realy wanted to be one of those people who are never hungry for the first 9 months to a year.

My barium swallow before surgery showed a small hiatel hernia, but when I asked my docs resident doctor about it, she said my doctor doesn't do hernia repair. I hope the hernia is smalll, but maybe that explaines hunger pains.

I've drinken three little medicin cups of Water, and I will have broth snd Jello in a few minutes. Have you all eaten yet?

Also, no drain for me either.

i have severe pain im not able to eat anything. just ice chips im not hungry at all. if i try to sip a little bit of broth my stomach hurts severly kind of like cramping. my oxygen levels were low too. im suffering guys im on percocet every 4 hours and still feel so much pain.

I felt the same way when I tried to eat the Jello and broth. I only at 1/3 or it, and then had pain when I did. The Lord is close to those that are suffering. I'm praying for us. Also, you can call on Him too, when you're afraid.

Also, remember...this surgery isn't easy...but the choices we had were to remain the same or get woese...and that was painful too.

If you really feel like something is wrong, have them call the Doctor to maybe run a scan. Did you do the swallow test yet?

I'm feeling so much better today. I think the swelling for the hernia has gone down. I'm not having painful burps when I drink anymore and I can feel and hear the air come up from My stomach. I didn't drink nearly enough yesterday. But I'm feeling good. I only slept in 2 hour increments the first night. But last night I was sleeping about 3-4 hours at a time.

Oh and I haven't tried eating yet. I'm not really hungry. Just been having some Water and some protien shake. I tried broth but that hurt so I'm going to wait a few days before I try again. I'm still having to take the zofran like clock work and the codeine liquid too.

How is yalls swelling? Is your tummies still enlarged? I'm still bloated. I can't tell if it's swelling or the trapped gas.

[JapGirl 229]

Don't regret it. It get easier. the first week is really rough, we knew that. Don't give up.

I'm post op day two and have gas pains like no other. The surgery itself wasn't bad, it's the gas that I thought was going to kill me. Walking helps a little but mostly when I walk, I just feel the gas moving around not exiting. Yesterday when I came home I probably drunk 3 or 4 medicine cups of Water and slept the rest of the day. Today I have had 2 medicine cups of a Protein Shake and 2 medicine cups of water. Tried to take some chicken broth and I got down 2 oz before the taste made me want to gag.

im praying for all of us. everything is ok. they just said that its spasm and thats causes pain. i was crying all night because of the pain they crush the percocets and mix with broth or jello but at soon as it hits my stomach the pain is so unbearable its for at least a minute and then goes away. Water hurts too. tried diet snapple tiny little sips and i can take it. my mom made me some homemade chicken broth and i can only do a tiny little sip almost nothing. pray for me guys

[JapGirl 229]

Still have lots of swelling. Day by day. We're on our way yall to a better healthier us.

[perforce 243]

Its nice that your incisions all look quite small, mine big one is quite long

[Yadie2006 75]

this is what mine look like

[perforce 243]

This is my biggest incision, though to be fair they got infected (fixed now) which might explain why they still look quite red across. Surgery was Feb 2nd. The others are ok and smaller.

Reading all this is making me so scared for my surgery...hope you all feel better soon!
