You may be getting dehydrated. Try to keep sipping. If you dont feel better in a few hours, go get an IV. My surgeons office has a special place you go to just to get an iv for a few hours. They recommend it when its needed. I would try to keep sipping and see if that helps first.

My dietician said that nausea is one of the first signs she sees in her sleeve patients. Forensikchic is right: really focus on your fluids but don't hesitate to get an IV if you're not feeling better in a few hours. Dehydration can escalate very quickly.

Seriously, this isn't something to mess around with.

I was in the hospital this week for 2 nights for dehydration. Google symptoms of dehydration. My major symptoms were headache, tired/weak, and nausea. In 3 days I hadn't had 3 cups of liquid because I couldn't swallow caused by swelling from severe acid relfux.

How much liquid have you been able to take in? Don't let it get worse or go untreated you don't want your recovery and health to suffer.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
