2 weeks out and in pain

[bettyb71 38]

My husband was sleeved 2 weeks ago. I was done before him and had no issues at all. He says everytime he takes a sip of Water or anything it hurts and he gets very nauseous. He is only getting about 150-200 calories a day. Has anyone else experienced that and if so please tell me it passes. He's just so tired of having an upset stomach.

Is he actually throwing up or keeping it down? If he has dry mouth, dizzy, disoriented, or having muscle spasms then he is dehydrated and may need some extra fluids. If this keeps up you might want to call the doctor to see if he needs some fluids or to be checked. Be proactive so he doesn't end up in the hospital. Make sure he is some G2 for the electrolytes. Best wishes and I hope he feels better real soon!

My Dr said to drink Gatorade if you are feeling nauseous. I'm almost 3 weeks out. I did drink Gatorade more at first, but I'm not drinking so much now. I think it might really help your hubby. Ditto what Beach Lover said!

He went for his 2 week check up today. Doc was concerned that he wasn't drinking as much as he should, but didn't really seem interested in the upset stomach. That's for the info on the Gatorade, he will get some tomorrow! Love this blog, everyone is so helpful.

You can mix the G2 with 1/2 and 1/2 Water....it does not need to be at full strength to work. I like it this way...in that way you get Water and hydrated again.....

You know as well as I do that the first few weeks are rough..But it does pass and you begin to feel better and better...Remind him that it will be better soon.....

Try some Protein drinks as well..He could probably handle Ensure as it has the calories he is lacking.....

Sip, sip and keep sipping.....
