day 2 going on 3 post surgery...still MISERABLE

Hi everyone...  I just don't know what to do!  I just feel so sick. Gas and nausea are the worst right now... i've done ice, heat, gas x strips, water, juice, popsicles, walking, sitting and all i can do basically is cry...  today during the day i felt okay - nothing at all like this.  sorry to write again today about the same thing but i really don't know what to do. 

Also - my meds - the liquid percocet for pain- it makes me even more nauseaus just thinking about taking it, and they also prescribed me adavan for nausea and that isn't helping now either.  it's going to be a lonnnng nite .  i will call the clinic in the morning. 

I don't want to say i wish i never had this but geesh - this is reallly hard.  Plus I'm doing it by myself, I live alone.

Sorry to say it, but sometimes it just plays this way. It is a rough first week for many people and it will get better. Hang in and try to rest. The gas sucks ..... well   ......  blows..... but it does get better. They can give you something for the nausea. Please remember this is the hard healing, sickish stuff and it passes along with the gas.....hang here and post post post if that helps you get through since you are alone.  That is what we are here for. Definately call the clinic and do what you need to to take care of YOU! 

You may have already tried this, but if the liquid percocet makes you nauseous could you switch to liquid Tylenol?  You will get through this!  Hang in there.

Sorry that you feel so terrible. Make sure that you are getting in liquids. And  please call in the morning.

Sorry to hear that you aren't doing well.  You should call the doctor and find out how they can help with your problem.  Do you take the medicine with something?  Do you get cream soup since it is your third day?  I really feel for you, i wish you had some help.  You don't have a friend that can come over?  I am glad that you have this site so others can suggested things that they have done.

Hang in there.  Next week when I am going through my surgery, you will probably be feeling better.  Take care.

I am so sorry to hear that you are not feeling well,  I had my surgery on the 9th also and the gas is just stating to ease up,  just a little though.  The only thing that really helped me was sipping on something hot like tea or broth,  walking and taking a hot shower with my back turned to the water so my incision would not get to wet.  they say the gas issue will get better with time your body has to absorb the gas,  sounds strange but I guess the doctors know what they are talking about.  Also percoet is a strong narcotic so if Tylenol works i would use that instead.  I hope you feel better soon

I think I will try taking a hot shower...haven't done that yet.  And I'll see if a friend can pick me up some liquid tylenol.  Thanks.

Some people are just "special."  I am glad to hear you are calling the clinic in the a.m.  I guess you don't want to hear it, but my surgery was so easy and painless I drove myself  home from the hospital.  I know this is not an easy time for you, but keep your "eyes on the prize."  It will all be so well worth it when you get to your goal weight and maintain it effortlessly.  It will happen. in the mean time take care of yourself.

sorry you're havig such a tough time.  I';m 6 days out as well.  Here's one suggestion.   It's a 1-2-3 approach- Take the nausea medication  1 hour before you take the percocet.   Eat something 1/2 hour before the percocet.  Then take your percocet.  It should help you with both nausea an dside effects from pain meds.

I do not have any advice but want to let you know I am thinking of you and sending you all my best for you too feel better asap ...
take care
