Hi I just had RNY surgery on Jan 15/14 in Toronto, Ontario. I am ok with keeping clear fluids and broth down but protein shakes had me so sick today. I agree with comments that I've been reading about not liking sweet tasting drinks (sugar free of course). I'm so thankful that I found this community to share with. I was feeling down in the dumps today because I can't get enough fluids in me and the classes you attend before surgery scare you so much in to making you start getting that protein in right away. I've been in quite a lot of pain though. I was only given children's Tylenol for pain but since have been given something stronger. I really didn't want to have to rely on pain meds but even in hospital I was given Tylenol. It made me want to vomit because it is so sweet. But pain controlled a bit better now. I'm still tolerating clear fluids better than full fluids though. But I have a question to you fellow patients. Is anyone having problem with diarrhea? It was horrible today and I realized that I just couldn't handle much of anything thicker than broth and water. Applesauce good. But any help would be a wanted thing as I was feeling very alone.:-)
