Frustr8 7,886 Posted June 23, 2018 @skinnygirl04, it sounds like the Sunshine State where you are is not A Fun-Time place. If Florida is like that, remind me not to get sick there. Do they even give you a Tylenol for a broken leg, or are you expected to lick a Lifesaver candy? Sounds like your hospital is in the Dark Ages, Opiod Crisis not withstanding. Maybe you are expected to,heal,yourself by positive thinking alone?👈😛👉 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MrsLingo 74 Posted June 24, 2018 I had my surgery in Jupiter Florida and they gave me Dilaudid. So sorry that your experiencing so much pain. It took three days to finally drink Water without pain. Let’s just say Jello and ice pops will be tour best friend once your discharged. 1 Skinnygirl04 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lbug 4 Posted June 24, 2018 Day three my spleen was causing serious pain issues. I couldn't take a deep breath. I had scans to ensure there was no complications. I didn't realize your spleen and stomach share the same blood supply. Day five I'm finally off pain meds. Drinking enough is tough but getting easier each day. It will get better.

nicolebklyn 13 Posted June 24, 2018 Hey guys I’m five days out after my surgery. I feel pretty good- I’m very tired generally and have stuck to full liquids and yogurt and apple sauce. I have to consume very slowly and often pause to pace a bit - pacing and walking really really help! I can’t recommend them enough if anyone is having problems- definitely walk after each meal and even during. - I bought a small sized yeti mug which keeps my smoothie cool for longer and a mug warmer which keeps my warm food warm for longer so I don’t need to rush. I also bought these little four ounce cups which I drink Water from. Those have all been useful. 1 mikealkay reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

michelle0721 13 Posted June 25, 2018 I was sleeved on June 19th. My doctor gave me the My On-Q Pump for pain. I had absolutely no pain and my recovery is going great. I took the pump out on Saturday and I still don’t have any pain. So far I’ve lost 11 lbs in 6 days. I would recommend anyone having surgery to talk to there doctor about this pump.

blacklioness72 22 Posted June 26, 2018 Hi fellow sleevers, I finally made it back home from Tijuana on Sunday, slept most of yesterday. Got up this morning and realized I was down 10lbs since surgery. I can't even explain how good that felt. I felel somehow vindicated with all my nay sayers. I'm so glad I made the choice to change my life. 3 gully90, Crash004 and MrsLingo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
