3 Days Post Op And Can't Keep Anything Down! Help

[Mike Kristian Marshall 4]

I had my surgery Monday July 2nd and haven't been able to keep anything down. The nausea is so bad that as soon as liquid hits my stomach, it comes right back up. I'm getting weak and light headed and have the shakes. Has anyone else had this problem?

I also had surgery Jul 2, I am not so much having nausea as much as spitting up bloody flem (sorry for the gross visual) my throat feels clogged and then if comes up and im pretty comfortable after that. I am feeling pretty good other than this. I have gotten tingling feeling in my hands a couple times.

_{I had my surgery on Monday as well. I had some nauseau but it passed and I am able to keep the liquids down. I am following a suggestion that I read on another post where I squeeze the air out of my jaws before I swallow and it helps not to gulp down too much air. I hope and pray things get better!}

I am 2 months out. I kept NOTHING down til day 4. Just keep sipping slowly. Try changing what you are sipping. By adding ice, drink at room temp, try some warm broth. Eventually you will find something that will work. Hang in there. It keeps getting better.

The day after my surgery I was taken down for a leak test. During the test they discovered my stomach lining was so inflamed nothing could pass through....leading to extreme nausea an vomiting. My surgeon replaced my NG tube, and kept me NPO for an additional 4 days, to give time for the inflammation to resolve. When the NG tube was finally removed, I was able to easily keep down sips of Water, and progressed quickly from there. I'm very grateful that my surgeon is as conservative as he is...keeping me in the hospital long enough to truly be well enough to go home. I've been amazed by some of the stories on this site....people going home after only one night in the hospital!! It seems there are a lot of programs that rush people (and their sleeves), leaving them to have experiences, and worries, like those you're having. I wish you all the best in your recovery!
