what did I get myself into



Recommended Posts

My surgery was on 9/19. For the last 3 days I haven't been able to keep a thing down. I am literally throwing everything up, including Water. Any advice would be appreciated.

Call your doc immediately. There is something he can give you for that. Be sure to take tiny little sips of Water every 5 minutes...it's very important to get fluids in. Just make the sips tiny. Good luck..

That does not sound normal to me. I think you should call your doctor immediately.. Please don't wait. Make the call right now. Then, let us know your outcome.

yes I agree with the others, you may get dehydrated if you're not keeping Water down. They will be able to give you meds for the nausea, and see if they need to do anything else. Feel better!

well....after discussion with the Dr, he put me on Promethazine and Zegerid to help with all of the nausea and vomiting. Today has been a very quiet peaceful day, knock on wood. I have kept down about 50 oz of Fluid and the dehydration symptoms are working themselves out just fine. Thank you all for the suggestions. I'm really struggling with the nausea I guess.

      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.
