In a lot of pain

[Tfitz40 5]

Hello, I just had surgery Feb.19 yesterday. I am home now and in pain. Did anyone else feel like this?

Yes - it wasn’t a good time. Stay on top of your pain meds, if you need more or they aren’t working call your DR. It’ll get better within a few days and much better in a couple weeks.

It will get better I promise!! I was sleeved on Valentine’s Day last week and I know everyone is different but this will give you hope. First 2 days were really tough for me. I had awful nausea and gas pains first 24 hours and threw up a lot. Which was pretty much dry heaving and that hurt my stomach even more. I could barely get out of bed and my husband had to pull my arms to help me change positions bc i was in so much pain and was scared to move. BUT!.....there is a silver lining! Every day I kept feeling better and better. I even went back to work yesterday (desk job) and if you had told me that last Thursday I would have thought there was no way in hell I would be back at work that soon. I have even only been taking my pain meds at night to help me sleep and am taking nothing during the day. The last 24 hours everything has finally started feeling more normal and I’m adjusting to the schedule and I think timing your Protein Shake and Water and Snacks is the key to feeling the most comfortable trying to get fluids and Protein down. YesterdAy I didn’t keep much of a schedule and it was so much harder than today. Today I set off reminders on my phone and it made everything feel so much better going down. I hope your pain gets better as quickly as mine did and you can start enjoying your new stomach and the scale dropping every morning. You can do this! A couple or three miserable days is worth a lifetime of a skinny New you and happiness!

I can't get my Protein in due to my severe gas.
