3 Days Post Op Help!

[aaeactive_gm 20]

Got my sleeve Wednesday, and and can't stomach anything. Not Water , not ice, can't even think about Protein. What to do, I'm taking Pepcid, gas x, and tums as told by the doctor.

Help!

Ok,breathe!It will get better,every day will be a little better.

Some people do well with cold stuff.I couldnt touch it.

Plain chicken broth,hot.Beef consomme,hot.Herb tea,hot.These were the ony things I could take for the first 5 days and then boom,it changed.Dont worry about the Protein for now.

I drank every thing very hot ( burned my lower lip 6 times in those first few days)

Nothing sweetened went down at all,not diluted juice or milk or anything.

Just hang in there,it does get better.

One more thing,small sips.(just enough to trickle through your mouth,over your teeth) an then swallow.Slowly,slowly...all the time.

Good luck...let us know if it helped!

I agree with the warm drinks, especially broth. Broth has some Protein in it, and it went down well for me in the early post-op stages. I couldn't do sweet or cold drinks that early and I found out that I'm lactose intolerant at the same time. Tiny little sips, constantly are what worked for me.

My sleeve was Wednesday and cold stuff hurts me too! I am drinking room temp bottled Water and my tummy seems appreciative of that. I had dry heaves for 24 hours after my surgery and couldn't drink anything without barfing...even 4 days out, it is getting much easier. You might even try some room temp Gatorade. My doc says if I have trouble drinking, try that. It keeps your electolytes up and helps you feel better. You can do it!!!

:tongue2:

If you aren't taking any nausea meds you might call your doctor's office for a prescription.

I am taking Phenergan every 6 hours---it helps a little but not much. It's a combination of no sleep/nausea/nothing taste good at all!! Hopefully things will be better by morning.

I second the small sips part. The first few days were the roughest for me in that I could barely drink anything. Taking small sips really helped.
