Day one sucked

Ok, Post-OP day one sucked.

Site pain, and gas pain and I have tried it all but not much help. Liquid Lortab is nasty, but helps so I am taking some.

Walk, sip, sleep>< Has been the moto for the day. I did get a shower this evening and I feel a little less stinky. I did heave a few times last night and it me me burp like a cowboy. Today I have burped without the heaving so some swelling must have gone down.
I ate some thin cream of wheat and it was wonderful.Drinking carnation instant breakfast in the blue box, some hot chocolate with unjury added and other liquids. Not gonna get in all of the liquids today but I will not beat myself up on that. I think my stomach has growled but that could have been gas too.
Just wanted to let everyone know I am making it. I would say this is a 7 on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being bad) so things could be worst.
Now I am off for another small dose of the liquid nasty and another walk if I can.
Thanks everybody. Crystal

 As with every surgery   the first few days are the worse  but after the third   supposely the worst   it will start to get better

  am sorry I didnt call as I said i would  it was such a busy day  still no excuse   I didnt get alot of a quilt cut out   yesterday I made my grandsons top all in the same day   I make my grandkids quilts every year for Christmas  and some times  for the 2 kids but not this year

  anyway  keep walking and drinking and belching   the liquid tynolne does taste pretty bad but consider if you didnt have it at all teehee
   I will leave you be and  I do know it does get better
  OH  did DR. Neace shave for your surgery? I  see him tomorrow  and dont want to be surprised  I am bad arent I?
Prayers have a good night I know it wont be great but before long you will be your self\
 prayers willa

I had forgotten to mention the shaving. Yes he shaved and looked a lot better. I do not remember talking to him to much the day of surgery but I do remember that.

So far today is much better. I am taking a little of the liquid lortab to help. Coughing still hurts. I think right now a cough is going to be my soft stop. We'll see.

It is OK that you did not call. I slept some yesterday anyway. Think about it as you probably would have woke me up anyway.

Have a great day. Crystal

Hello! I am looking to have WLS later this year. I have alot of questions as to which one to go with that is best for me. I am leaning toward the lap-band because of being less invasive. I don't know why this has me a little scared. I live just outside of Huntington, WV and would love to talk to someone on the phone. Do you know anyone that would take the time to talk to me?

Crystal,
Here's to a speedy recovery!  How long were you in the hosp?  I am on day 5 of the preop diet and am doing ok.  A little cranky now and then  :)  Hope you start feeling better soon.

Sorry you had a hard time the first day.  Can you take some gas x for the gas pains. That's what I took after having my surgery. The gas pain was aweful/

Take care
