HatheryOnHerWay 603 Posted May 23, 2013 Hey! Well I got sleeved yesterday morning. I got the go-ahead to start sipping Water today. Both times it has ended with me throwing it up. Any idea how long this phase will last? I'm hoping only a few days Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
danelle235 79 Posted May 23, 2013 Hey! Well I got sleeved yesterday morning. I got the go-ahead to start sipping Water today. Both times it has ended with me throwing it up. Any idea how long this phase will last? I'm hoping only a few days I had really bad reflux/ vomitting the first couple of days too. I feel your pain... it sucked. They told me it was because of swelling at the base of my esophagus. By day 3, things has pretty much subsided. I still have to drink slowly, but I'm on day 8 and each day is 100% better than the day before!!! Hang in there!! Oh!!! And - CONGRATULATIONS!!! You're on your way!!!!!!!! 1 Kathy Kramer Deitch reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HatheryOnHerWay 603 Posted May 23, 2013 Thank you! That makes me feel a lot better! Thankfully I'm not in too much pain, because my liquid pain meds were the first thing I projectile vomited. Haha 1 Kathy Kramer Deitch reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MystiGal 143 Posted May 23, 2013 I was sleeved on Tuesday and I still can't keep any Water down without feeling like I am going to vomit. I am still in the hospital & running a fever of 101... I guess you can say I am in the "buyers remorse" stage!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mexico 16 Posted May 23, 2013 Have u tried drinking other things...lime adding a splash of low cal/sugar juice or a tiny bit of crystal lite? I am 7 months out and I am still unable to drink plain Water it makes me vomit. One of my favorites is the diet cran grape juice and fruit punch crystal lite although I can only stand up to half the packet. Also I still have to have my drinks ice cold once they get warm they upsety tummy and make me feel nauseous. You may have to experiment to find what works for you and be prepared that it may last more than a couple days and you need ur liquids Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kulita 243 Posted May 23, 2013 The first 5 days I was drinking out of a medicine cup that was 1 oz (30ml) and it was very difficult to drink all of that down. I also had a fever for the first 2 days until I started using the spirometer 15x per hour. Also I had to drink like a lady by only sipping ONLY when the liquid touched my lips.

Heyher 581 Posted May 23, 2013 One thing I noticed is if my drink was ice cold I couldn't drink it. It hurt way too bad. Have you tried warm tea? Not hot or anything. Just slightly warm? Congrats on your sleeve! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MIJourney 490 Posted May 23, 2013 They gave me anti-nausea meds in pre-op and then in my IV once I was knocked out. Sent me home with a RX for them also. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gmanbat 5,889 Posted May 23, 2013 Oh, man, I thought that said,"Splitting Up", a thread about divorce. I gotta get new glasses. That tummy just got traumatized. I could barely drink a thimble full for a week. It gets better. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I guess you can say I am in the "buyers remorse" stage!!! I'm worried I may have a fever, too. My chest and cheeks are so flushed and hot, but not my forehead. The doctor is coming by in about an hour so we'll see what he thinks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
weigh-in 47 Posted May 23, 2013 I had my surgery last Friday. I would vomit 20 minutes after they would give me the anti nausea Meds in my IV .... After the third time, I rejected the anti nausea meds and I was fine. Good luck :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
