How are all the April 4's doing?

[Monie717 183]

I ended up staying 2 nights because of extreme nausea/vomiting. Once they took the dilaudid PCA away, I felt so much better. Very minimal pain but the nausea put me down. Back home now. Sipping broth.

I was sleeved yesterday 4/5. It was an outpatient surgery and I feel awful. The gas pain is SO BAD. I feel it in my back between my shoulder blades and in my chest. Anyone else have this issue?

I was done on 4/4. I came home yesterday. I agree the gas pains are the worst. Mine are in my chest and left side. No pain from incisions and no nausea thank God! Everything went well the hospital staff were awesome!!

I was waiting for it but I didn't get it. Just wicked nausea/vomiting.

I'm still in the hospital due to an intestinal bleed, but I've been able to keep down a shake and a bunch of Water, so I'm looking forward to going home tomorrow! Pain has been moderate, but bearable. I'm on norco now, but they had me on morphine when I wasn't taking anything by mouth.

I was sleeved 4/4 as well. The gas pain is the worst. I threw up the whole first night in hospital. It was horrid.

I was sleeved 4/5. I went in the OR like 9:10am and i was home by 12:30pm. It was done in a same day surgery center. I threw up once since surgery, however i have bad gas pains and i can feel pain at the incision site. Wishing all of us a speedy recovery.

Was sleeved 4/4. I'm doing great physically. I'm just SO over the friggin post-op diet. I feel nauseous just looking at Soup. I can't bring myself to eat it more than once or twice a day, so I'm not reaching my Protein goal, which is not good, I know. I just crave CHEWING something. Even like a good tofu and veggie stir-fry, I'd be stoked. I swear I'm never having broth or soup again in my life after this.

After this i don't want to hear the word Soup mention ever again. I am feeling the same way. What sucks for me am on this liquid phase for 3 weeks after surgery.

I feel ya. I'm dealing with pretty much the same thing. A week of Clear liquids and broths, then slightly thicker liquids (consistensy still has to be able to go through a straw - without actually using one, obviously) for another 2 weeks or so.

I can't. I'm so over this. I'm looking forward to "moist" foods, like scrambled eggs and stuff. I know I'm lucky and shouldn't be complaining, but I just had to rant anyway! haha

We are humans, we not perfect. This is life changing for most of us. Of course we have to vent. Venting keeps us sane.

4/5 for me. The food thing sucks, but mostly because it's hard for me to say no to food. I also miss going out to eat with my wife and/or friends.

But I keep telling myself that everything will be okay. In a couple months I'll be able to do that just with a way smaller quantity of food!

Also I feel like I'm lucky. I spent 1 night in the hospital then was discharged. I went home and had some tough time sleeping that night and spent a lot of the night walking behind my house.

Since that 2nd day, I've really felt fine walking a lot and sticking to the diet. Honestly, I kind of feel normal and ready to get back to the grind.

I'm a lucky one! Looking forward to the next 40 years!
