Hey fellow friends of weight loss surgery. I got out of my Rny yesterday afternoon, and am in the hospital right now in recovery. On a bright side, I just got my catheter out (praise the lord) and, on the down side, I can't seem to drink enough liquids to keep the doc happy enough to discharge me. My walking is easy except its difficult to stand without getting naesous. Did anyone else have similar problems? How long were you in the hospital and what foods could you manange to tollerate and hold down? (I do understand everyone is different but suggestions never hurt.)

At this point a sip of Water keeps me full for hours. I will totally say yes to that one I feel full allbthe time but not too full just full; which is nice. My surgery was over 24 hours ago now does the anesthesia last that long with the nausea?

I was in the hospital for 2 1/2 days, I did not touch any food and just had a few licks of a ice pop. I did sip, sip, sip, sip, was sore but walking helped so much. You are probably nauseated from the anesthesia which will go away. Maybe ask for something to help with the nausea.

Hope you feel better. I believe it's due to the medication.

Hey fellow friends of weight loss surgery. I got out of my Rny yesterday afternoon, and am in the hospital right now in recovery.

I hated that catheter. Please ask for something for the nausea. They have several meds. Some intravenous and some transdermal. I've had several surgeries and realize anesthesia makes me sick as a dog after. I had it set up before surgery that I be double dosed for nausea before I woke and that was a huge concern. We knew I would have vomiting from going under. Period. I couldn't walk that first night due to nausea and almost threw up but didn't, thank goodness. As for the water...I feel full all the time and it was impossible for me to get as much as they wanted me to. That said. You sit there and hold that cup and sip every minute. I watched the clock. Then once recovered, I would sit with my Tervis cup full of flavored ice Water and sip. And sip. Then pretty soon I could take a drink...a NORMAL drink. I now get over 100 ounces of water a day. It will become habit for you to get your water. It just takes time. Now I feel gross if I don't drink enough fluids. The problem is that if you don't drink enough you'll get so dehydrated that you'll end up in the hospital on bagged fluids. I went hiking after 4 months. I didn't take enough water and it was a 5 hour hike. It didn't sound like 5 hours when someone said "5 mile". Ugh. I really almost died. I'm shocked that I didn't have to go to the hospital. I totally quit sweating at mile 3. I will NEVER make that mistake again.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
