open rny on may 1 and still having trouble doing anything but clear liquids
My incision hurts, but not the way I expected it to. My discomfort is very high... Epigastric into the chest and shoulders. I feel like things are all trapped in my chest ( I know they aren't, it just feels like it) I'm supposed to be on full liquids... my doctor uses carnation instant breakfast as the protein drink... and I feel so ill each time I take a sip of anything other than clear liquids. I talked to the office and they said go back to clear liquids only and I have, but I feel worse every day, not better. It's not so much "pain" because I think I have a pretty high pain tolerance, just discomforts that continue to get worse. I have tried sugar free yogurt etc., so I know it's not just that I can't tolerate the carnation. I know I'm rambling but I feel so awful. I was prepared for pain and a few other "sensations" but not this overwhelming sick feeling. Any suggestions anybody?
