I feel miserable and can't stop crying. When I eat too fast (1/2 tsp) instead of a lick I get feeling like I'm having a heart attack.

Also: they took my vivelle hormone patch off. Who does that???? Never told me and only just realized it since it is a clear patch.
They aren't giving me my fill neurontin dose. Did they have high hopes and why wasn't this discussed preop??? I can barely move from the pain in my legs.

Big time wish I had never done this! Who wants to live a life crying everyday.

Hang in there and lean on your medical staff thru the hard times. You can make this work it takes time.

 

 

I hope things start feeling better ASAP.  Can the prescribing doctor help with the patches and other meds you need today? Are you on an acid reducer? That might help too. : (

Sure do hope you get stuff straightened out.  Talk to your surgeon.  Ask why the changes and what can be done. I know they took me off my cholesteral meds at surgery and arthritis meds before.  BP meds came off more slowly.  I know it has been a holiday weekend but the office should be open today and there is no need for things to be this bad. 

At your phase, we were still on liquids and tiny sips at a time.  You don't HAVE to be eating at all yet and when we started it was bites the size of a pencil eraser of creamed soup and yogurt or pureed stuff.

Get with your Dr today.  Buyer's remorse isn't uncommon.  You will feel better.  You may just need more help to get there. 

At this early stage, eating 1/2 tsp is going to make you feel like you're having a heart attack.  Your stomach is actually very close to the heart and is swollen and probably spasming with too much food going in.   Take much, much smaller nibbles, chew 20-30 times and only then try to swallow.  I remember this feeling well - I was eating too fast and taking too big of bites.  It can still happen to me if I do that. 

Hope you get the medical team to look at the other things asap so you can be relieved of the pain in your legs.  Definitely want to hear that you're feeling better soon! 

Thanks everyone. She told me it was a mixup and to put a new patch on so I feel a tiny bit better.

I'm supposed to have 24 oz clear and 24 oz full liquids. Plain yogurt is on the full liquid list along with protein shakes but I can only do about 4oz in an hour of those.

I see my surgeon tomorrow so we can talk about the neurontin.

I got out of the house today to visit my parents and that lifted my spirits. I want to thank those who swung lizards because I felt them!
