What day did you feel better?



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I got sleeved on Friday 11/4 and came home from hospital yesterday. As anesthesia wore off I was taking my liquid pain meds and zofran around the clock yesterday and today. I also have the nausea patch behind my ear. When I got home yesterday afternoon I had a low grade fever, and then another today. I know it's normal, but makes me feel crappy. My c-section took a few days for me to be off of narcotics, but this seems a little worse because I can't just swallow a pill to feel better. Most people have said after three days things will be considerably better. My neck and shoulder are killing me too from the c02. I'm glad I had this done, I'm just wondering what others experienced so I can see a light at the end of the tunnel. I'm pretty uncomfortable! Thanks!

I had surgery on 10/25. They kept me in the hospital for two days. Those were the worst. The 28th I was pretty good. Didn't take any pain or nausea meds after the 27th. Started walking three miles the 29th and was back to work on the 31st (I have a desk job). No problems at all

I was sleeved on 10/26. I was in the hospital for 2 nights, I was not able to pee,so had to have a folly 2 times.

Got out and was back in on the 29th because of fever and dehydration. Turned out I had a uti and c-diff. I have no pain or nausea Everyday is a little bit better. Tomorrow I am going back to work part time. Looking forward to it.

Today has been an excellent day. Keep moving and you will feel better. Good Luck

My surgery was 10/31. I'm still taking pain meds around the clock. I had a 4 day hospital stay and came home last Thursday. Today I did walk to the end of my driveway and I am a little cautious to say this but I feel better tonight than I have since last week.

If you roll your shoulders forward and backward it helps with the gas pain tremendously!

I just had surgery 11/3

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
