I decided to have some Bear Creek Cheddar Broccoli soup last night with a scoop of Unjury in it. Never had it before.
Within 15 minutes I wanted to throw up, got the chills, and some pain. Ended up dry heaving and throwing up for 2 hours, more pain/chills, diarrhea.......Woke up this morning in a bunch of pain in the pouch area.

It's so hard to figure out if it's not settling or just too much too soon =(

Ugh - it's just so frustrating!

Hi Robbie =)

Surgery went like a breeze actually. I didn't have any complications. The only incision/area that gave me pain was right by my sternum. Doctor/nurses said it's because that's where the majority of the surgery was (obviously =P) and probably the largest instrument used (laparoscopically).

I did have a bunch of nausea that they controlled with phenergan and zofran. But I did spit up blood a few times. Dark, so I knew it was in the pouch from surgery.

I wasn't really in pain for too long. More like aching. I just took my pain meds when scheduled the first few days then as needed afterwards. I still have about half of them left. I was prescribed oxycodone. 70 tabs. Was instructed 1-3 (5-15mg) every three hours as needed. After learning from both of my c-sections from my kids, I religiously took them and then backed off a day or so after feeling better. There is NO reason to NOT take them those first days. My hubby was taking care of our kids so I was able to rest rest and rest some more =) Rest = SLEEP, LOL. Healing process does lots while you're asleep.

I think the majority of people don't have any problems. But one thing to keep in mind is how many people here are having gastric bypass done as their FIRST surgery? They don't really know what to expect. I've been in the hospital three times. 2 c-sections and then my gallbladder out laparoscopically. So I kind of knew what to expect.

Just be honest with the nurses. If you are in a 10 pain on a scale of 1-10 ~ TELL THEM. I had 2 extra doses of morphine straight into my IV in addition to the drip when I needed it. Plus a dose of Benadryl by the end of the second day because of severe itching.

HI, This is Robbie congrats on having your surgery. Hope you are out of pain & feeling better soon, I have a couple of dumb questions to ask if you don't mind. Was surgery as bad as you thought it would be??? & is the pain & the all around sickness after wards as bad as you thought it would be ??I have seen on here where some people are very sick after wards & in A LOT of PAIN,  & then there are others that say they have no pain or sickness this is the reason I have ask the question. I'm waiting on approval from my insurance, I just finished my supervised weight loss on Wed. just curious on the afters of surgery....THANKS, feel better soon!!!  

I went for my 2 week post-op on Monday. Was down 14lbs from surgery (though the scale at the doctors office is 3-4lbs more than ALL other scales I've been on)

I'm still on liquids, but added in cream of chicken soup, yogurt and melted ricotta. The warmth of the soup and leted cheese feels really good in my belly =)

I'm allowed to start flaky fish, cottage cheese, and other soft soft mushy foods next week.

I've been bad though and have had a mozarella cheese stick (cheese worms is what we call them, lol). Something to CHEW and I made sure it was real mushy going down.

NUT said I shouldn't be taking my b-complex vitamin and only 500 B-12. I have a 2500 and when they are done a 3000 I got from Vitalady.

Don't know whether to do what she says or keep what I've been doing. B's are water soluble and she said I was just making expensive pee.

What vitamins/supps are you guys taking??

I'm allowed to drink coffee....no more than 16oz a day.
