I'm 5 days post op having trouble today just ate some sugar free Jello and laid down. Started feeling nauseous so I took an anti nauseas pill but I didn't take it soon enough. Sat up in my chair thinking elevation would help but I just violently dry heaved for about 3 mins. What are the chances I just hurt my sleeve?

Hello, sorry to hear your having trouble I'm 5 days out as well, for 2 nights straight I was having terrible gas pain but didn't know at the time it was gas. I tried the antacid pills they don't work. I called my Doc and asked him b/c I was scarred he recommended as much walking as I could, I also discovered that my sugar free popsicles actually helped out some ... Hope you feel better soon Best wishes

I am 2 weeks post op, the only thing that really helped when that feeling came on was to walk, remember to eat very slowly and you should be fine!

Well unless you experience sharp alarming pains, fever, basically anything extremely severe you are okay. Be sure to keep in contact with your doctor incase you are still unsure, for the most part leaks are common within the first 3 months due to over eating so take it slow in the future and perhaps mush anything you're eating into a thinner consistency.

I dry heaved for 14 hours straight after my sleeve! The nurses had their hands full with me! LOL! I was worried I would rip my staples right out, but the nurses weren't concerned. After three days, I had my x-ray and everything was just fine. No leaks. Good luck to you.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
