Headache

[Peaceful 5]

I have followed my instructions fairly well- sick of the bland none satisfying foods but my concern, bad heartburn - last night I threw up - just A little stomach acid- today my stomach hurts from that pressure- but I have a headache - behind my right eye- down into my neck- for a few days now- just won't go away :-(

Am I possibly dehydrated? calling the doc is a hassle on the holiday- I tried yesterday

Sleeved May 17th- any advice??

If you think you're dehydrated, work on getting in some more fluids. Water, pedialyte, G2 are all suggestions I've seen. Some people have had luck drinking their liquids from a spoon to avoid nausea. Eat SF popsicles or some crushed ice to help with hydration. Try changing up temperatures. I personally loved broth early post-op. The warmth was soothing to my little sleeve.

If you're severely dehydrated, it might be time to go to an urgent care of ER. That might not be a bad idea anyway. I always worry when people say they have thrown up bile/stomach acids.

Good luck!!

I would agree that you should start with working on fluids. you are early enough out of surgery that if you just stuck with fluids til you can get back with your dr, you would be fine. You could also go pick up some prilosec to help with the acid. And I love the taste of gatorade (G2) (HATRED gatorade before surgery) but the flavors are so good after drinking Water and broth for so long. Go with room temp drinks. See if it helps. If not, head to the er
