Sick to my Stomach.. Normal?

[NavyMom6 28]

I had my surgery on July 9th and came home July 10th.. All day on the 10th every time I drank Water I would throw up and have dry heaves.. It feels like the Water weighs a ton.. I'm having a lot of pain in my chest, I suppose that's gas...

Has anyone else experienced this?.. How long will it last? Thanks!

I could not drink plain Water for a long time. It occasionally makes me nauseous to this day and I am almost 6months out. Warm herbal tea and crystal light were/are my go to drinks. This is normal. It will get better.

Warm chamomile tea will sit better and be soothing to your tummy ????

Make sure you're walking around to relieve the gas. I wore a path in my living room until i felt good enough to go outside.

You may also want to ask surgeon for anti nausea meds

I had my surgery July 1st and water does still make me pretty nauseous. Not as bad as before though. Diet snapple and light cranberry did wonders for me in keeping me hydrated. Gas pain is still an issue for me. Just keep active and it should alleviate the pain.

Thanks for all your responses.. I was starting to get worried.. I have Crystal Light.. I'll get started on that morning.. I been walking around my living room.. I did the pre-op diet fo7 days before surgery I lost 15 pounds on that diet.. Crazy things are running thru my head right now.. Like regrets because of the way I feel.. Thanks again..

I had my surgery on the 9th too! Surgery twins! Water and I don't get along either... It hurts. I don't have the nausea with it though, but it is pretty painful. I have much better luck with frozen juice, but I know cold isn't tolerable for some. Not only that, it gives you something to chew on if you have the desire to eat. If the nausea and vomiting continue, I'd go back to the doctor. That's what they told me to do, honestly, because they don't want that happening. Are you experiencing joint and muscle pain? Ooh, that is something I'm struggling with. Everything hurts, my back, my arms, my thighs. Makes it hard to move around. I wish you luck in your journey,, and I hope you start feeling better soon.

I just got my sleeve done on Wednesday the 9th. Technically I'm considered two days post-op. I'm having some pretty sharp gas pains even when I do the gas-x strips. Almost Every time I drink some Water I burp. Plus I'm also having body aches. My incisions are slightly sore but it's mainly the one that had the drain and my biggest incision? Hope all these are normal. Didn't realize how wonderful dilaudid was until I'm taking a lortab elixir.

how much weight you lost dear

Nausea from Water is very common. I have read that it has something to do with the surface density of plain water. I was told warm or room temperature water is better. Also add lemon research another flavoring can help. I find I can't drink the same thing over and over like the huge glasses of ice water I used to chug pre-op.

My Dr. just called in some nausea strips for me.. I sure hope it helps.. I did take all your advice on Crystal Light and I have been sipping on it all morning.. It's actually staying down.. I keep getting horrible gas in my chest.. I started using the Airlife plastic thingy they sent home with me to breath in and it helps a lot... It's so nice to hear what people are going thru, it seems to all be the same thing..

I was beginning to think something was wrong.. I did lose 15 pounds on my pre-op diet which really shocked me.. I didn't think I lost anything.. I still don't feel hungry.. Do any of you feel hungry?

[NavyMom6 28]

We are twins for sure.. How are you feeling today? I'm having horrible gas in my chest.. I've stopped throwing up.. That was horrible.. I'm super sore in my arms and neck are.. I wonder if we are sore from laying on the OR table so long.. They had my arms stretched to the side of me.. hen 1 whole day I laid on my back in bed..My Dr. called in some nausea strips.. Some one on here said they use Gas X strips for the gas.. hmmm.I starting drinking Crystal Light.. It's staying down so much better than Water.. Hope your journey is smooth!.. Take Care!

I can't drink Water still.. I had the sleeve on July 9th.. I'm still having gas pains.. Lots of burping and seems to linger in my chest. But I have to say today is my best day.. Greek Yogurt is going down good.. My 1 week post op is tomorrow.. I'm still sore, especially in my left side..

I'm looking forward to eating healthy and finding all the new great Bariatric recipes out there!
