Ended up staying in the hospital an extra night because i couldn’t stop the nausea. So home now, taking things really slow. I can drink a cup of water an hour and have tried putting a few things back Into the diet but so far water and 2 bites of chocolate pudding seem to be keeping things balanced. Lol.

I am sure it will get better each day, your body just needs time to heal and process a huge change.

Congratulations! I hope you have a quick recovery. For me, I found the more I moved, the better I felt.

Yay you did it! Woohoo! Once you start getting protein into your body, you might start feeling energetic again. Good luck as you continue healing.

Congrats on your surgery. It is a good sign that you can keep a cup of water down an hour. Hope you feel better soon.

Congratulations! Best of luck on your recovery. Don't push yourself too hard. Like Kcuster83 said, your body has been through a lot.

Make sure you follow the plan the doc gave you. Don't take food to soon or you could be paying for it.

That was me too, I actually stayed extra week. It’s tough but don’t let it stress you out - I know I was panicking instead thinking something was wrong. Beginning of this journey is actually more difficult for many than what you read online. It will start getting better.

I had my surgery on 2/15. Today is the first "good" day I've had in regard to being able to swallow without much pain and reflux. My whole abdomen feels like it's swollen and I think I'm retaining water. I actually weigh more than I did the day of surgery. Is this normal? I'm hoping in the next week things will be exponentially better. All in all I'm excited about what the future holds on this journey. I do have to agree with what someone else said, though. You don't get a clear picture of the post-op pain on these forums.
