Got Sleeved 3/28

[lisalalani 81]

Got sleeved on Wed. Got home last night. Not feeling well at all. The morphine they gave me made me sick each time I threw up. My sides feel like I got hit by a Mack truck. I am not able to eat/drink much. I am on full liquid diet. I am going to go back to bed and rest now.

I Hope you fell Better Lisa. Just Relax

I felt the EXACT same way and the morphine just made it worse, see if they can give you liquid lortab along with anti-nausea meds. The first few days are the worst and I was completely miserable, just sit back relax and breathe. We'll get thru this, welcome to the losers bench

Hope you feel better soon, honey! Wish you a speedy recovery!

hi lisa

my dr. gave me zanax (msp - wrong word?) when i came from hospital. ? Totally helped. It was sublingual, under the tongue, so it dissolved really quickly and took affect soon. that helped my nauseas cmpletely. Morphine made me sick.

hope as time goes by, you feel better..

good luck

it was Zofran that they gave you not xanax.... Zofran is a 4/8Mg tabet ODT for Nausea and Xanax is an anti-anxiety medication which they sometimes give for severe nausea & vomiting bt that doesnt go under your tongue. So I am going to be safe and say that it was Zofran

Thanks everyone. I am so grateful to have this forum with so many who know and understand. I am on liquid loritab. I just feel like I could sleep for a week!

It will get a little better every day. Just keep taking the lortab, it's a lifesaver. I mix mine with a little margarita flavor crystal light I'm 5 days post op and feeling more and more like myself everyday.

My surgery was 3/27 and except for one painful incision I feel pretty much as I did before. Been trying to stay out of the house 4 - 6 hours a day, but taking it easy while I'm out (walking slowly, leaning on carts, etc.) Partly because I feel good, and partly because I was told not to take my post-op blood thinner and just try to move around a little extra instead. I didn't have any nausea or vomiting - I'd wager that helped. Got a Zofran bolus while still in the hospital because I thought I might be getting queasy, but I think it was just my bowel waking up from anesthesia.

I'm not eating or drinking much at all. I feel like I sip constantly, but am maxing out around 25 oz a day (water + Protein combined). It's going to be a while before I can hit good Fluid intake levels, I think.

I don't need my lortab, but if you have it and it will help, take it. It really does wonders. Watch your hydration and don't be shy about getting some IV fluids if you need them. Dehydration will make everything else about 10x worse.

Hi Lisa ! I was sleeved the same day ..Liquids are difficult still for me. I am actually going to get up and out of the house briefly today in search of some better clear Protein and sf drink mix. What I have doesn't ;like me so far .. I feel super weak because I am not getting in Protein. I did make a Protein shake yesterday and sipped on it throughout the day to get something in. I have pain still and pain when I drink sometimes and find it easier to drink sitting up straight or even standing ! strange I know.

You can do this, we can do this ! Just breathe walk and sip ! And take an occassional nap !!!!
