Day 10 barfing

[KrissySMD 38]

I was doing OK until yesterday. I had a very bad Migraine and just didn't feel up to much. My walk was torture. And I couldn't keep anything down. Now it's 11 days and I'm having the same problem w/o a headache to blame it on. I went for a walk as usual and ending up coming home half way through because I had to run to the bathroom. Then I sat in my rocking chair (from when my daughter was a baby- glad I kept it SO comfy) eating ice chips because that settled my tummy. But now I'm nauseous just relaxing on the couch. I cannot imagine eating anything. Just the thought makes me feel sick.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Sorry to hear you having such a rough time. I went through something similar, my 1st month, Frankensleeve wanted nothing to do with food or Water. I was only able to tolerate cream of mushroom Soup and Crystal Light lemonade. I wasn't up to walking during my 1st week post-op. Having surgery in December and it being nasty, cold and wet outside gave me a good excuse not to get out and walk. :-)

Hang in there, it gets better day by day.

My team says vomiting is not normal if I am I should call them.

Caffeine withdraw can cause headaches. Not sure if that is the issue. I gave up caffeine 7 months ago but I did hear that if you have the surgery and are used to the caffeine that the headaches can be very intense. I hope you feel better soon, the vomiting would certainly be no fun. Best of luck for a "speedier" recovery.

Please make sure you are making every effort to get fluids...... being sick you cannot get fluids in....please call your medical team to make sure you are hydrated...you need to have fluids....dehydration causes vomiting....you should not be having this much trouble from just the surgery...please call your team....its sounds miserable.
