My surgery was Wed. morning and while in the hospital I felt fine. I decided I didn't want to use pain meds when I went home and that has been ok. I am sore but nothing serious. My problem is I feel like throwing up all the time. I did get a prescription for it today and it did help a tad. Anyone else feel this way. Not being able to handle the clear liquid phase? Any advice for me?

I can't offer help because I haven't had my surgery yet but I have had surgery and I had no clue that I get super nauseated after..I had a hour and a half ride home and that was hell then hours after being home I threw up...I tell you I would rather be in pain than feel nauseated all the time so I know how you feel. I will tell them the moment I step into the hospital to put me on some good meds lol.

At superstarsandi... My surgery was Wed morning also. I like you have not been in unmanageable pain, but have been so nauseated. Dr' s office said it could still be anesthesia or post nasal drip. I was instructed to take a Zyrtec and force Water when could to push post nasal drip up and out and take the allergy medicine to dry it up. Seemed to help somewhat yesterday. Today has been little better,I am beginning to tolerate fluids and Protein. Let me know if you find a cure for it because I hate being nauseated worse than anything.

Thank you! I did get a nausea med and that has been working some. I feel better each day. I have not thrown up since yesterday morning so that makes me feel a little better. I am starting to get some fluids in. I am praying I continue to get better each day.

I am also 2 days post gastric sleeve right now and was able to come today. I only had gas cramps the first day but immediantly started getting up and walking every hour once I was put in a hospital room. The quicker I was up and moving and rolling over the gas moved and the pain went away. I feel fine, but have a drain tube coming out of my left side until next Thursday for my one week post op appointment. I am not hungry and not nauseated at all and barely even used my morphine pump while at the hospital. We will see how this afternoon and tomorrow go.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
