Question- In the hospital

[tiffy0485 123]

I had the sleeve yesterday and only got to have ice chips all day. Well today they started me on Clear Liquids. My questions is, whenever I try to nod off and sleep I keep waking myself up and slightly choke on whatever is in my stomach. He nurses say it is normal to spit up but is it normal to constantly wake up to it? I mean I can't sleep!

I did not have that problem. I personally would ask the Dr. if he is not scheduled to see you have them put a call in.

I agree, ask the dr.

It's generally advisable to not eat/drink and then sleep immediately, at least for me. I have had issues with some pretty severe acid reflux, and have aspirated stomach acid (not advisable or fun). Try sleeping propped up at an angle rather than flat, and you shouldn't have so much of an issue.

It doesn't matter if I don't drink or anything for 30 minutes, it still happens. I guess I will be asking the doctor whenever he comes in today. It's just weird, I have "foam" come up after Water. 30 seconds later it is coming back up. I just don't see how this is normal like the nurses say.

I was told it was normal. A process of your stomach heeling. Doesn't always occur with everyone but it was listed as a side effect. They said if it happens drink something warm to help break it up.
