PTP 6 Posted May 24, 2018 Day 1 post op I'm super sore.. the pain meds are helping but everytime I take them I vomit.. its making my stomache feel even tighter... I'm walking but it still hurts like crazy to get up on my own.. I feel so weak. I'm trying my best to do all liquid diet which consist of sugar free Jello which isnt bad but I can only eat like 2-3 spoon. The crystal light lemonade oh boy.. the smell just turn my cheek I skip that.. The chicken broth is alright.. They just bought me dinner.. hopefully its beef broth.. Pray for my recovery 1 Pearldrop reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orchids&Dragons 9,047 Posted May 24, 2018 Sorry you're feeling so bad. If you're still in the hospital, they should be able to give you IV pain meds or IV nausea meds so that you can take the oral pain meds. 2-3 spoons of the Jello is about right. You just don't have much room in there. Don't worry, it will get better! 1 PTP reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PTP 6 Posted May 24, 2018 thank you .. I'm so ready to skip to 2nd week where my body feels less sore.. I kept walking up on the hour last night..They were trying to ease me out of the iv med bc it doesnt last as long as the oral med.. 1 Orchids&Dragons reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SleeveinIL 386 Posted May 24, 2018 I hope you feel better soon. My surgeon did a patch behind my ear for nausea and it made the world of difference for me. I did have a heck of a time pushing liquids and ended up back at the ER a week afterwards because I became dehydrated. So if you can tolerate it, sip as much as you can. Hang in there.

bluebutterfly 60 Posted May 24, 2018 Hang in there, I had surgery on the 21st and am still in the hospital as well. Horrible nausea and can’t keep anything down. I guess this happens to some people. I was sure I’d be home by now but will not let this little Detour get me down. I’d rather they keep me here so i don’t end up in the er dehydrated. My surgeon said that it’ll eventually pass and I’ll be fine.. so I’m in the same boat hanging on 2 1 Pearldrop, Orchids&Dragons and PTP reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PTP 6 Posted May 24, 2018 thank you.. I just went for a walk which help a lot.. Hopefully they will discharge me tomorrow.. But I'm in the same boat.. cant drink or eat anything much.. They said they will take me off the fluids if I did 5 medicine cup of Jello in 2 hours. I only could do 2 😿 lets hang in there!!! Fighting!!!! 4 bluebutterfly, Pearldrop, Orchids&Dragons and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
