Hello Everyone!

I am 4 days post-op and I am still feeling like crap! I can barley keep anything thing down! I have not been drinking alot of fluids because I am scared I am going to vomit it all back up! I never once imagined this to be lke this! I mean I can't even drink a 8oz Water sipping that is without vomiting! I am not drinking fast I am sipping! I even vomit when I eat ice! This is crazy! Is anyone having these problems??? I am not hungry at all I am disgusted with food when I see it ! I feel as if I have a hangover!

Have you contacted your surgeon? Dehydration is a major concern at this point, also vomiting is stressful on your healing staple line. Regardless if anyone else is experiencing this, please call your provider and get in immediately. This is NOT normal, and you should not hesitate to contact your medical professionals.

I agree with the above response CALL YOUR SURGEON TODAY. The hungover feeling is probably due to the anesthesia, but could also be from dehydration. Let us know what your surgeon tells you!

As the above members stated, call your doctor immediately. One thing to consider though is that if you are only 4 days out, chances are you are still on a variety of meds. If you cant keep Water down, maybe you are still in the hospital and receiving meds by IV. Certain pain meds both orally and by IV would make me throw up for a period after ingesting/receiving them, even by IV. You might still be having a bad reaction to anesthesia too. Don't worry, I doubt it's the water that's causing this. It might be something very simple.

I'm 12 days out, I could not drink Water, still can't drink much of it, never have really been able too. Have you tried warm liquids? I got my liquids through warm tea, (lemon, orange spice, chamomile, all caffeine free) and warm broths.

I don't know if taking in 8oz at a time is normal. We are supposed to aim for 1 oz at a time and work our way up. I hope you feel better soon!

Me either, I cannot tolerate Water AT ALL! One of my Dr's had this surgery and said he couldn't stand to drink water till he was 12 months out. They say your tastes change and then go back to normal eventually. Although, I never have been a big water drinker, so that might be part of my problem. I have been living off of gatorade and broth.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
