Had Surgery June 25 Pain



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve done this monday and I just stopped dry heaving today. Between the heaving and the gas I was really second guessing myself but I know there is no turning back. This site is wonderful

Oh, no! Feel better. Did they give you any nausea medicine? Are you using GasX? You poor thing. I'm sorry you've had such a tough time.

While in the hosptial I was given prilosec for gas and nausea. My surgeon prescribed omeprazole 20 mg the generic for prilosec and I take this twice daily. Contact your doctor and ask for a prescription for nausea and gas cause you will need daily.

Sorry you feel sick. I can't believe they didnt give you something while in the hospital. They kept my IV loaded with anti-nausea meds, so i didn't feel sick at all.

I had surgery June 25th as well. I used Gas X strips while in hospital and now am using duel action acid controller complete. You can get it at Walmart or Target for about $10. Both things I mentioned have been approved by the bariatric nurse and surgeon, feel better soon.

Just curious, did you have a drain? I'm wondering if there is a connection to nausea and not having a drain to get blood out of your stomach.

I had a drain and no nausea. Also had an IV for 47 hrs, and they kept it pumped with meds. I keep reading about those who hurt so bad, and are so sick. I feel terrible for them! I believe in the power of prayer, worked for me.

      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.
