Congrats on the op :) Its fine and very normal cuz your body is adjusting to your new stomach.

By the time you leave hospital or a couple of days after you will feel fine.

Good luck!

I did the same thing. I felt great the morning after surgery and then three hours latter, I was ready to curl up and pass out due to the nausea. The nurse gave me a shot, but it didn't help. I didn't get any help with it until they gave me something behind my ear. I couldn't even keep down the ice chip I was sucking on. I only threw up once and that was just bile. The rest of the time it was just dry heaving. Once they removed my drainage tube, I felt 100xs better. I couldn't believe such a little tube could do all that. I am sorry you are going through this. Hope you feel better soon. :)

By the way .. you could be vomitting whats left from the anaesthetic. Its kinda like dark coloured slime. After that you will feel a lot better.

I am in the beginning process, finishing all the crazy tests! How much did it change your lives? I don't mean weight wise, eating habits, socializing, etc?

I was having extreme vomiting for about a day and a half after surgery, then I made them change the pain meds they were giving me intravenously. (I had had a similar reaction to morphine, so once I remembered this I thought maybe it was the pain med. Found another med I was allergic to.) Once they changed the meds it was like night and day. Within 2 hrs all my nausea and vomiting stopped. Just wish I had figured it out earlier!

      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.
