Summer 2018 Surgery Buddies: POST-OP Discussion

Help! Need your brains to help me think this through... Folks, all I've had today is a half a cup Optifast Protein drink, a half a cup water and half cup tea. That's it....I was mid teaching an online class and I got SUPER naucious. Sliming and all! Kept belching with my stomach in a knot. Had to give them an assignment while I threw up all my pitiful hydration for the day.... Not cool... Anyone experiencing this? What in the world! I'm mortified I could have been presenting in person when this happened! This happened on two other occations. Once when I was having Vitamine water and the other time, I had a clacium chew and some water. The only common denominator seems to be the time. Around 2:30pm. And I feel better right after I throw up... In other news yesterday night I had my first food following 3 weeks protein drinks and clear liquids. It was a soup with very soft vegie chunks in it. It went down quite nicely and I was in heaven -

Now now, let’s think through this... 1. You are eating now, have you had a BM? Sometimes you can get backed up. 2. Have you increased Sodium? Could be water. 3. Is it around your cycle time? Could bevwater? 4. Did you have something with high carb or sugar? Could be your liver swelling with glycogen. 5. Have you been taking in your water? Could be retention. 6. Are your scales right? Could they be off? Unless you have somehow managed to eat 7000 cals above what you spent, it’s can’t be fat. I know it’s easier heard than believed, but that’s a fact. Hang in there and stick to your plan and they should roll off soon. -

ChellNC, I’ve gotten really lucky and scored a bunch of hand me downs from friends and family members. Hopefully you have some folks close to you that can hook you up when the time comes! So proud of u both for already needing cloths! YOU GO!! Since this is not my first rodeo I have cloths in every size from 24 to 12 (never been below that), so in that department I am set. Now just to loose enough to slide in em! -

Shakes Post Surgery? i just made one with Isagenix powder water and ice. It’s not going down well. The bubbles I think are the culprit. Causing me to beltch a lot after every sip. Anyone else experiencing this? I want to drink my shake! But struggling ... ughhhh. 😬 -
Odd, I did not have smell, and only did shots in hospital. So sorry this happened to you.

I am 20 days post op. I woke up tight. I had my 8oz water, walked 10,000 steps (in the rain with an umbrella), got back, had some vitamins water with my daily calcium chew. Right after calcium chew my stomach knotted up. Pain, nausea, and I just vomited all my hydration!!! Anyone else experiencing this? Any thoughts on why?? im supposed to move to Full liquids tomorrow and quite frankly, I’m scared to progress! -

I am a Bariatric trilogy: Band at 29 years, did not loose much and regained. Sleeve at 37year, lost 70 and over 3 years regained it all. 3 weeks ago at 40 I revised to RNY. Very hopeful this will be forever. -

Omg!! Congratulations that is AWESOME!!! So happy for you!! I am 2 days shy of 3 weeks and only 9.5lb down since surgery, still on clear liquids and 12-20k steps a day. But alas, such is my journey and I have to accept the rate at which my body is giving up the fat. -

Def contact doc hon. We are post surgery and must take any and all abdominal pain seriously. I had another visit to the ER over the weekend. Lower abdominal pain. I tried to tough it but doc said to go in and exclude internal bleeding etc. like I suspected, it Wounded up being a ruptured ovarian cyst, but I had peace of mind knowing exactly where the pain was coming from -

How long after you throw up can you start to drink again. Just tried drinking two little sips after throwing up an hour ago and they are not settling down well and causing me a lot of beltching. But how do I hydrate? -
