Question: I'm about a week post op and I am hungry...what do you guys eat to make the hungry feeling? I do yogurt and pudding and I'm okay with that. Someone hellllpppp!!!

How do I post a new thread on here? I'm using the iPhone app?

You guys look awesome????????

Yes I believe it made me significantly worst, I don't want to be on any meds that I don't have to. I feel much better when I don't take them. I went from vomiting or feeling like I was going to all day to now maybe once a day. My doctor says it's normal so I shouldn't be too alarmed.

I am day 5 post op and even last night i woke up to get throw up. It starts with dry heaves then spit and water then a nasty yellow throw up. It's almost like a churning feeling. The first two days home from the hospital were the worst. I thought I was gonna have to go back in. It gets better though. Keep sipping water and a little Gatorade (watered down) to prevent dehydration. I actually felt better after I stopped taking the pain medication (I had liquid loritab) then after a day of being off that I stopped the nausea medicine. Another thing my doctor gave me was something to prevent esophagus spasms (dry heaving) you could look into it. The dry heaving was uncomfortable and when I took that medicine it helped. But after three days I'm no longer taking any of it and I feel much better. My stomach does get gassy which I use gas x strips for and they work wonders. I keep drinking water and tried it room temperature cause the colder it is the more it irritates. Good luck though, like i said I'm on day 5 and feel much better...much much better. Another thing is sugar free fudgsicles are my best friend, even though I can only do half at a time, they give me the feeling I'm eating something and they are refreshing to my raw throat from dry heaving and puking.

Today is the first day the nausea is tolerable. I am having two major difficulties and need some suggestions on what do to do. 1. How do I relieve the gasy/nausesous feeling? How long does it typically last? 2. Does anyone have problems sleeping? It's killing me. Please any help you can give would make me so appreciative!
