I'm so bummed. I had my surgery yesterday morning and felt absolutely amazing afterwards. Dr was thrilled with how well it went. This morning I developed a headache that didn't want to go away. I had the drink test to make sure I wasn't leaking and everything was fine.

One hour before I was set to be released, my head hurt so bad that I became nauseous. They have me zofran through my IV and I felt better immediatley.

Now I'm sitting at home with the killer headache and vomiting. Sips of Water make me throw up. I called the nurse and she thinks I need to go to ER. I am so bummed :(

Sorry to hear you're feeling so bad - and agree with comment above, I hope you are in the ER now. Fever is not good.

I had a similar experience. Head pounded like nothing on earth. I phoned my surgeon who asked if I drank much coffee before my surgery of which I told him I did. It turned out I was having withdrawals from caffiene. Hard lesson to learn. I do hope you are feeling a little better today xx

I had my surgery Thursday 6/19 too! I'm home but I'm still dealing with nausea! I think it's from the severe gas pains I also am running a low grade fever too! Praying this gas subsides soon!

Well lastnight I was in contact with the doctor and he thinks the headache was from the anesthesia and the nausea was from the headache. They called me in suppositories for nausea and that helped tremendously. They said if my fever was above 101.5 to go in. It never got above 100.9, then went away this morning! I feel SO much better.

The nurse and I have been texting all morning. She told me not to push the Protein yet until I feel better. I'm keeping my liquids down just fine!

The scale this morning said I've lost 20lbs!

I'll take it :)

I had mine 6/18 and was sent home with nausea medicine did you get any? Walking will help with the gas. Hope these past quick for you.

It's a little better today, but the gas still hurts a lot! I'm barely eating/drinking anything on this clear liquid phase cause it all hurts!

I know it gets better day by day and I'm looking forward to this journey, I just have to make it thru this first week!! Baby steps....

      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.
