Day Three Post Op

[jonamarie2012 4]

Am very sick.....I have been throwing up everything. I wish I could hold down my pain meds at least! My tummy hurts from wrenching and dry heaving. I am tired.

My surgeon called and said if I can't hold Water down, I would have to go back to Kaiser emergency.

Sipping Water now.....I sleep and throw up. That is it!

Please tell me this will go away quickly...

Miserable over here!!!

Hang in there, the first week post op I was screaming in pain "what did I do to myself". It definetly gets better.

For fluids I drank a shot glass full of Water every 15 minutes, so much easier seeing it in small glasses.

If you can't hold down Water, you probably do need to go to the E.D. They can hydrate you with IV fluids. When the swelling goes down in your stomach, things will get better. Being dehydrated is nothing to be taken lightly.

Thank you.....I have been sipping Water for the past hour. So far so good. I do not want to go back!!! I think I will feel better when the bloating is gone. Still miserable!

It will get better. I didn't have a problem with vomiting, but I did walk hunched over for about 5 days. It was not a pretty picture. The heating pad on my belly was my best friend. Hang in there and sip like crazy. Right now your job is to get your fluids in and rest.
