So Sore 😭😭😭



Recommended Posts

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

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!

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..

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.

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

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!!!!

      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.
