I get hiccups if I have eaten too much. Some times its a signal before I throw up.

Decided to do the Gastric Sleeve as a New Year's resolution. Went through the entire process for Insurance Approval. Finally set the date for Surgery as 6/15/16. Was told to go on a 1 week liquid diet before the surgery which I followed to the T (and surprised myself in the process). Surgery went fine on 6/15. Was on the hospital for 2 days. Had the normal gas pains but went away fine. I did not take any pain medication when I was home and things were going quite well. Even attended a wedding that weekend. A week later I fir the first time had a sharp pain in my stomach. It was insane. I started seating like crazy. I ended up taking the pain meds my Dr had prescribed and it subsided. However for the next few days I felt uncomfortable and couldn't sleep. On Saturday July 2nd I started throwing up bloody mucus. At first I thought it was the red colored popsicle I just had but it kept coming and my wife who is a nurse recognized it as blood. She rushed me to the ER. At the ER they took a bunch of CT Sans and Xrays. They identified 2 abdominal abcesses (which had pus in them) and a possible leak (which ended up not being true - Thank God). I ended up being at the hospital for 12 days and hated every moment of it. For the most part I was on TPN and couldn't eat or drink anything. I had IV's and antibiotics for my infection. I was bored and tired. I had never been in a hospital before except for the 2 days of surgery and hated it. Luckily there was no leak and the abcesses were healing (based on lower wbc count) so they let me go home on 7/14. My Dr put me back on a clear liquid diet 1 month after my original surgery. Initially I had TPN at home also but that was then taken away. Currently I have just started pureed food but hardly feel hungry and cant seem to eat much. If I eat even a little more than I can or should I end up throwing up. I try and drink the Protein shakes but cant drink more than a few ounces. I am hoping when I start soft foods my appetite comes back. I also have fatigue issues through it seems to get slightly better every passing day. I am hoping I can get that resolved as I need my energy back for work etc. I am down about 45 lbs from 285 to 240. Hoping the journey from now forward is more smooth.

I am 6 weeks out and I cant each much either. Even if I overeat by a little bit I throw up. Is it possible for your surgeon to cut your stomach too much I once tried to drink some water too fast after eating and again threw up.

I cant seem to hold down anything either. I take 2 or 3 teaspoons of yoghurt or a couple of sips of liquid and I feel like I am full. I am afraid if I overeat I will throw up.

I am guessing the pain is because you don't intake as much liquid. I don't really have too much pain but my urine is like a darker shade of orange.

I had my surgery on 6/15 and had my 2 week post op apt with my Dr yesterday. He said it was ok to move up to the puree stage. I remember he said it was ok to have organge juice or diluted apple juice in the first 2 weeks. However I would like to know if I can have strained watermelon juice so I am only drinking the watery liquid part. The minute I had some this morning I felt a burst of energy that I don't feel with the OJ or AJ. Is it too early to drink Watermelon juice ? Its one of the few things I can actually enjoy.

I had my sleeve done on 6/15/2016. I did have some Gas pains the first couple of days after surgery but they went away. I did not have any nausea whatsoever. I did not have to use any pain or nausea medication once I got home and have felt progressively better ....... Until Yesterday Yesterday I had severe gas pains and they were horrible sharp pain. I had to actually use my pain meds for the first time yesterday as the pain was bad. I am also constipated for the first time since yesterday. I have been vigilant on my diet and except for drinking some caffeinated tea I have not strayed at all. Only thing different I did yesterday was having to tighten my belt (literally) since my pants are getting loose. I have lost 30 lbs since the surgery. I did get the chewable Gas X yesterday and have a couple of tablets. Any suggestions on the gas ? On the constipation would diluted prune juice work ?
