Hi all, I was sleeved June 1st and I am in post op hell. I am home from the hospital but am struggling to get anything down. It is slowly improving but so slowly I'm really worried about dehydration & not getting enough protein to heal properly. When I try and drink anything I get terrible reflux & gurgle back. I've tried warm drinks, milky drinks, water, nothing seems to help. I have been prescribed heartburn reducers but they make me sick so I can't take them. Any suggestions or do I just have to wait for it to get easier? In addition I'm constantly producing a lot of spit that I can swallow back as it makes me sick, did anyone else get this? If so does it pass? Any help/suggestions appreciated!!

Thanks guys, my doc is away today but can always call the nurses on the ward, I have the feeling they'll want me to go back in though & I can't face hospital again. I had the post op x ray done & they did say the entrance was tight but that it was nothing to worry about, I'm wondering if that swelling taking time to go down is why it's being problematic. I'm only getting down about 300 - 400 ml a day which is 10 - 14 oz so nowhere near enough!
