Omg why does it hurt still so bad?!

I just had the vertical sleeve on Tuesday,  March 4th and I know being sore its to be expected, but omg!!!!!! The pain is horrible I also had a popsicle that had strawberry seeds in it, we'll that didn't work out so well. I got sick to my stomach and noticed a spot of light blood, has anyone every had that too? Sorry to sound like a wimp, but I just get really nervous! Can someone plz give me some in site?  

You noticed a spot of blood where?  If it's in your saliva/spit up then that might be worth a call to your doctor.  I know this sounds cliche but on a scale of 1 to 10, 10 being truly horrific unbearable pain, where are you at?  You had surgery on a major organ and the stomach/ab muscles are used so often that you are bound to be sore for a while.  If the pain is truly unbearable you need to call your doctor.

The pain is about a 7. It seems to hurt more, when I get up or sit down. Thank you for your advice,  I really appreciate it 

blood and pain means ether a call to your surgeon or a trip to the ER

I would definetely call my surgeon. Your stomach was manipulated and a lot of the muscles were bruised so it is going to hurt, but the more you walk and sip the better you will be.

I was told no seeds until three months out, because a seed could get lodged in with the new stiches and cause an infection.

I don't want to add to the misery, but I'm pretty sure you grabbed the wrong popsicles.  You really should have grabbed the "Popsicles" brand and the sugar-free ones at that.  They're available at Target or Walmart for certain but probably other chain grocery stores.

It sounds like you grabbed any one of a number of different "fruity" products available in the same section.  Don't use anymore or those.

Yea,  my mom picked them up for me and she didn't know. I think it was that too, I just talked to the doc and he said that's normal, could be excess blood from the stomach and not to worry unless i start having a fever, chills or a lot of pain. Boy do I feel so much better. Thanks everyone for your help :)

Besides what the others have suggested try holding a pillow to your stomach when you sit up or stand it will help the pain and yes walking and sipping are your best friends right now. I see your user name is connor so assuming you are a guy (I've been wrong before) and most guys if they haven't had a surgery before seem to feel like they are in more pain than some of the rest of us but if you truely feel a 7 on the pain scale you do need to contact your surgeon first sand formost. It will get better every day, honest!

 

Nope, my names crystal, Connor is my son lol. Thanks I will try that too :) I know it will get better, but boy it seems like forever :(
