Had my lap and cystoscopy on Wednesday and am having a dreadful day today...can't keep anything down and feel horrendous 😞 I'm still very sore on my tummy and down below 😞

Hello,

Sending you hugs! It’s grim I had mines on 18th dec, it’s kinda normal what you are feeling. Apart from not being able to keep anything down!! Maybe get some advice?

And the anaesthetic blues will be kicking in with you! Let all the tears out!! X

I'm sorry you're feeling so unwell, I'm on day 8 post op and the first 5 were hell for me 😞.

Do you have a temperature? How long have you not been able to keep food down? If the pain is unbearable I would call 111 and/ or get someone to take you to hospital. If you have a temperature and/ or it's been more than 12hours you've not been able to keep anything down I think it's best you go to hospital as you could be severely dehydrated.

If you can it might be a good idea to take an electrolyte solution like diarolyte in water (if you can). I had an upset stomach following my lap and had bad muscle spasms which is a sign of dehydration. Also, bananas are easy on the stomach and I found really made me feel better (eating very small amounts at a time) with plain rice cakes and sipping water/ wetting your mouth.

I hope you start to feel better soon. It's so much worse when you're already sore, I really feel for you.

Big hugs!

Xx

Thank you for your reply, I've just managed to get some flat lemonade down it's been about 20 hours so far, I'm varying between really really hot and then shaking with cold! My tummy has swollen really badly too today just makes you feel so much worse when you're already in pain 😞

Hope you're starting to feel a lot better 8days on xx
