Hi J! Congrats on your surgery... I know exactly how you feel. I was so sick from the anesthesia and narcotics after my surgery (02/20/12) that I could not hold down an ice chip. I threw up EVERY time I sipped Water. I ended up staying in the hospital for 3 days until I could hold down water for a day. Went home on day 4... I remember sitting in the hospital bed thinking "WTF did I just do?"... and to top it off I had a terrible cough.... it does get better though! Try using a pillow to brace against your tummy when you need to vomit or cough, it helps tremendously! Little sips of water, walk walk walk... and it DOES sloooooowly get better :)

Pretty normal though I know that doesn't help right now. Get some rest and hope you heal quickly.

I threw up 4 times in the first 24 hours and it freaked me out! I caught my surgeon in the hallway and he assured me I did not rupture anything. Once I was able to have liquids (after the leak test) I finally stopped. Still was nauseated though. They gave me anti nausea meds in my i.v. which helped.

I am so lucky I never had any nausea, maybe it's because I kept hitting the MORPHINE button! LOL ;)

Congrats on your new tiny tummy!! :)

Don't worry, feeling nausea and/or vomiting post op is really quite normal. I did both and though it wasn't fun, it did pass. Today, I'm a whole new person!! Can't say enough about it.

Get your rest and do your best to sip tiny and get up and walk whenever you can.

Xoxo

hi jwelk :rolleyes:

by the time you read this, i hope you are feeling some what better. every minute counts so maybe you are a little better. This is quite normal, being tired especially, nautious all that pleasurable stuff that goes with surgery. But really, this was will be worth it. from the wise word of pasmilton "a storm doesn't last forever!" :rolleyes:

Your poor stomach has been invaded, attacked Tummy is probably saying, "hey, what did i ever do to you?" :o

You should reply with, "hey you have given me hell all these past umpteen years, and i want you gone, gone, and gone - don't come back ever!!" So Mr. Tummy is rebelling, taking his hurt feeling of pain out on you - don't let him win! This too shall pass as they say.

you will feel better day by day, i promise :unsure:

best

kathy

      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.
