12 days post op and now feeling crappy again why?

Geezzzzzzzzz I am telling u I swear I am falling apart .. surgery was a bear on me and not to mention they gave me IV sedation instead of gas and the doc told me it would be a roughter recovery going that route I did so I would not vomit ,, gas make people vomit .. But this surgery really kicked my butt .. I was feeling better last couple of days and bam I feel like crap I have heart burn .. but I had some diet lemonaide and then i found out lemonaide is a no no .. I forget what I can or cannot have ..oops but i took some antiacid yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! took some of the pain away .. some not all could this be gas pain still? I am having alot of doubts now I did the right thing.. .. I just want it to be 6 mos out already .. I know I sound like a whinner but damn u swear he did a RNY with my lap band .. i know it was the hitiasl hernia that kicked me in the butt as I had a huge one All for the good in long wrong .. Also I did bend over to pick something off the ground w/o thinking and man did I pay for that pain .. ouch .. lisa

I didn't have lapband, but they say it DOES get better. I've questioned myself too, but only after HOURS of no sleep from my dumb left incision pain. Hang in there. It will get better! Allie

Aww Lisa I'm sorry are feeling so crappy. I'm 6 days post and starting to have a little more energy. But I'm still pretty tired and have to nap at least once a day in order to get through the day. I don't have mu*****ision pain which is nice...that seems to be healing nicely. But I'm worried about not being able to get all my liquids in or enough protein each day. I know if we don't do that we can delay the healing process and make things worse for ourselves. You mentioned no lemonade??? Why is that? I haven't heard about that. I bought crystal light lemonade and have been drinking it. Maybe I shouldn't be drinking it if we aren't suppose to have it. Where did you hear this? I will be keeping you in my prayers that you will start to feel better soon. And yes, even with our doubts on those bad days... it will all be worth it in the long run. Hang in there! Cheers, Lisa S.

I am talking about real lemons . Crystal light is ok in any flavor My doc said lemonaide I assume real lemons I just made it out of splenda and lemons not a good idea.. was good going down but oh my I paid the price later feeling alittle better this am .. be well Lisa

Hi. My doc said no citrus (including pineapple), tomatoes, or spicy foods for 4 months. It irritates el groucho poucho! I don't think CL counts, but it probably wouldn't hurt to stay away from it, since there are a hundred other flavors. Of course, we all have our favorites that we can't live w/out, so I'm not preachin'!

I've had tomato soup and it hasn't bothered my tummy at all... but I haven't had any citrus fruits yet and will probably stay away from those for a bit. Allthough I know some people who mix their protein with orange juice and it doesn't seem to bother them. I was told to jus****er down the o.j. and strain out the pulp! Haven't tried it yet but I might soon just to see how it sits on my tummy. Hope things are going better for you Lisa. Take care! Cheers!

Lisa, I am sorry that you are still not feeling well. Must be the acid in the lemon juice. One day all of this wil pay off. I too wish that I can fast forward to next year this time. Keep your head up!!!!!!! Deltagirl90
