6 days post - looking for advice

[t1018ross 116]

I'm two weeks post-op and completely understand where you're coming from. I'm just now starting to feel semi-normal. I've regretted my decision too and have had some bad days. Was in a lot of pain the first week too. I've also had a hard time getting all the liquids down and the Protein Shakes. Still haven't met my goal for either. I've been exhausted from lack of food. But I'm hoping things are starting to look up. I get to start pureed foods tomorrow and my energy level is getting better. I agree with the post above that mentioned the bad parts of this surgery are kind of glossed over. I didn't expect it to be this hard. But we'll get through it!

I had my gastric sleeve surgery Monday May 14th. I have been having multiple issues that everyone that I've spoken to say is normal but needed to know that it isn't just me. I have nausea which is varies in extremes. Sipping my liquids seems to cause a great deal of gas pain which my surgeon said to use chewable gas x. It helps a little. To make things worse, I have internal pain and incision pain. I am fortunate to have a nurse come to my house and the incisions are healing fine but the sharp burning pains especially when moving are horrible. I typically have extremely high pain tolerance as I've have back surgery and handled that fine. Is anyone going through this le pen el of discomfort or am I the only one? Right now I am hating my decision to get the surgery. I have an awesome surgeon and everyone that I have talked to say it will pass...but when. Would be great to know I'm not going crazy or going through it alone.

So sorry you are feeling awful. In the first weeks, my surgeon wanted to make certain that I took Omeprazole DR twice a day, and also Zotran whenever I feel nauseous. It really helps.

Feel better!
