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.

Those are fluids and right now you need your fluids. Have you tried herbal teas? flavouring your Water? Hope you feel better soon.
