Day 2-Post OP

Okay so today has been a lil more rough.

Woke up real early since sleeping on back is tough. Got out of bed around 6:30AM and moved to the recliner, which helps A LOT. I would be lost without the recliner. Had some hot tea and then had some of my pain med..the lortab elixir. Basically liquid vicodin. Been nauseated today though....Is it from the gas or the pain med? Both? Ugh, I trying really hard not to vomit. I am now afraid to take any more of the pain med. We will see how it goes tomorrow.

I just keep telling myself its only up from here!!! Thank you for listening!!!!!

It does get better! Hang in there and congrats.

Sorry that you have to deal with nausea... Gravel worked for me, they have a ginger gravol that did the trick. I bought them in tablets and let them soften in my mouth, very easy to swallow. Almost instant relief. Make sure you drink too, don't get dehydrated, that can make you nauseous. Pain meds could be making you feel ill. Good luck. Tomorrow will be a better day.

You will feel better each day. But those first days are lousy.

But then all the good starts to happen. There is less of you every day.

Lees body=More happiness. You will get through this.

Everyday will get better!! I took pain meds (the same as you) my first night home, and lost them 5 minutes later (tummy didn't like) So i've been roughing it with nothing... my DR recomended peppermint tea, or buying liquid tyneol from the store as it's not as strong and might be easier on your tummy

I am wondering now if the nausea is due to the gas. I go to the bathroom cause I feel like in going to throw up and then I kinda have an action but its a big burp. Sorry but trying to find out if this is all normal.

I had a lot of gas pains (still do) and I get kinda the same thing.. Just walk a lot and try the gas x strips that melt on your tounge

[ashchap13 23]

I have those and been taking them. I am more worried about the nausea and trying to keep from throwing up.

if you're having to much nausea, you need to contact your doctor.. that was one thing they told me to call them for it i was having it all the time.. your band might be to tight

It just started today after taking that medicine and eating some yogurt. I'm skipping the pain med tomorrow and if it continues I'll call.

I know the fear of vomiting. Don't be afraid of calling the Dr.. I had the same problem and waited 3 days before I called. Dr. Said It was the pain Meds , was better by the time the last med wore off. Call Dr. To make sure. For me the pain was'nt half as bad as the gagging. This too shall pass!!!!'
