nolagirl09 15 Posted May 21, 2014 I Was feeling okay since surgery. But day 5 I started feeling horrible. Not only was I starving. My acid reflux is terrible. Day 6 I started my nexium as per docs orders. I'm having such a hard time with liquids. I feel like I have a huge pill stuck in my throat and the middle of my chest. When I breath heavy my stomach has a slight pain like its full. It's the strangest thing!! I go to my post op appointment tomorrow. Anyone else had similar issues?

Phoenix77 1 Posted May 21, 2014 My day was day 6 I almost passed out in the shower yesterday and felt horrible! I had appointment with my surgeon yesterday. He said it was just body adaptation. I also needed fluids so I had to get hooked up to an IV for 2hrs! Today I feel a little better but my stomach is very sore and I'm getting hot flashes when walking around that make me super nauseous! Went to check out a gym thought I wasn't gonna make it got home drank some poweraide felt better. I also started pureed foods and my stomach is always growling I feel hungry I'm so ready to be through this phase! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got sleeved on May 9th but am not allowed any pills yet. My doctor prescribed a Prevacid capsule that I break and eat medicine out of. That has helped me. Good luck with your appointment tomorrow!

Hope all is well. I open my Nexium capsule also but it hasn't helped. If this pain in the middle of my chest would go away I think id feel 100 times better 1 Phoenix77 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Antonia_megan 13 Posted May 21, 2014 Wow I'm so happy it isn't just me! I am a week post op today and I seriously wake up miserable . I can't keep anything down, I'm ALWAYS spitting (like I'm doing chewing tobacco), & I too have the same feeling in my chest ! I just tried eating a few bites of a creamy Soup and I ended up in a throw up spazam for 5 minutes and now I'm literally shaking ! I have my appointment with my surgeon on Thursday and believe me if they had my old stomach on stand by I would be the first person to have it re-attached ! I am so over this ! I apologize for the rant btw lol ! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bigmommatojacob 54 Posted May 21, 2014 My worse day was two I was so sick and was thankful I was in the hospital still. At four weeks out I still have days sometimes of nausea but it eases. A lot is not getting in the right Protein because I just can't drink like they want. This is the first week of solid food and four bites had me full. I did have a chip ( one ruffle piece) yesterday and that eased my nausea. I think it helped absorb the stomach acid. Getting my body use to all the new things I can't eat or drink and my head which wants all of it on the same page is difficult. 1 hillgirly reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Phoenix77 1 Posted May 21, 2014 Have you tried gasx for the chest pain that may help. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Susan-031314 179 Posted May 21, 2014 It will get better!!, that said, sometimes a good rant will help too. Ask Dr about Mylanta. I found that in liquid would help that burning throat. Keep your Soups clear unless the Dr says otherwise and get a 2 oz measuring cup (1/4 cup). It will be your friend for a month or more. And again, it will get better!!

I tried Gas X and that didn't help a lick. I just want to eat and feel ok Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandirufophoto 19 Posted May 21, 2014 Nolagirl- I had the same terrible chest pain with lightheadedness. Saw the DR yesterday and here told me to use the breathing thingy (don't remember what it's called) every two hours. It's a mucus clot that gets stuck and can eventual cause pneumonia if you don't clear it. I did what here said and within the first hour I felt better, it did come back over night, so keep breathing! Good luck! Keep us posted. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
