5 days post op and cant keep anything down



Recommended Posts

Hi guys I'm 5 days post op and can't keep nothing down. I'm sipping as slow as I can but not helping it's coming out of one way or the other. Any suggestions?!?!?!

Have you contacted your medical team?

What are you trying to eat?

Does it happen after the 1st bite or after several?

How much time are you taking between bites?

Some folks end up lactose intolerant for a bit, so avoid anything milk based and see if it resolves.

I'm still on the liquid face. I told them even before I was discharged n they just asked me to log what I drank n to kp trying (wasn't my actual surgeon an assistant) I'm drinking Water, Gatorade 2. Neither is working.

I'd call the doctor. My doctor gave me her cell phone number in case of an emergency. If yours did that, I'd make a call. That was one of the things on the list my doc gave me that needs immediate attention!

Also, try adding a SF flavoring packet to your Water. I had a hard time with plain water the first two weeks, but I'm almost 4 weeks out now and have no problem with it.

I'm sorry you're having so much trouble. Hope you can get it resolved real soon! And, yes, that is a laxative! I don't think it fits this picture...

I had my surgery Friday oct 4th and had the exact same experience and it also ended with a trip to the ER and 4 bags of fluids for dehydration. My ER doc gave me a script for a sublingual zofran that dissolves under my tongue which helped me BIG TIME! Next day was still nauseated but could finally hold down liquids. Try sugar free popsicles too they really helped me but you will probably be really weak for a few days I know I was. Good luck to you!

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

      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
