Goodgonebad 38 Posted October 26, 2012 I got sleeved on Tuesday and having a hard time sipping the Water it's making me nauseous. Please share some tips with me. I had extreme nausea had to stay in the hospital two extra days because of it. I went home with pills AND a little circle patch I had to put behind my ear. I just want to tell you to hang in there, it finally went away for me after about a week and a half. Be strong. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Corange 20 Posted October 27, 2012 Thanks for all of the kind words! Day 2 has been a little rougher, but still manageable. Started with the barium swallow...Yuck! The long lasting numbing agent that they use at the incision sites wore off this morning and so I was a little sore because of that. My IV infiltrated and there was a student nurse so I got poked a couple of times, but that's fine. They have to learn somehow. I have done about 10 laps around the floor today and have been napping on and off. Other than that, I started my clear liquid diet. It is definitely a weird feeling when liquid hits your stomach! At first it was highly uncomfortable, but now it is just somewhat uncomfortable. I am nervous about the drain removal tomorrow, but after that, I get to go home! I feel like I got the lucky end of the surgery stick! Again, thanks for all of the kind words! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ruffus 66 Posted October 27, 2012 I make peppermint tea. Was told it would easy the nausea and it counts towards Fluid intake. It seems to be helping Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
