Are you taking pain meds? Sometimes these make you nauseous. If you aren't ask your Dr, for something for nausea! Vomiting right now is not good. If it continues, go to ER!

I stopped taking pain meds because they were making me nauseous. I called today because I still felt pukey and they said I was probably dehydrated. i finally started to feel better but started having these spasms in my stomach. It was too much and I puked. I will def go to the ER if it doesn't stop! Thanks! These forums can definitely make you a hypochondriac!

You need to call your surgeon immediately. If you can't reach him, go to the ER. Either way, you need to get an anti-nausea med immediately. Your stomach has been sutured and vomiting this soon after surgery is extremely dangerous.

I was banded 1/17 and the same thing happened to me 2 days post op. My surgeon sent me to the hospital where I stayed overnight and got IV fluids and nausea meds. I know it's scary but you will be ok.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
