I can't keep anything down...



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone.

I'm 3 weeks and 5 days post op. I've had a bumpy journey so far.

2 days after surgery I was doing great. Ready for discharge.. And right when I got up to sign the release I dislocated my kneecap, chipped it, and tore the connecting ligaments and tendons. So I got to stay in the hospital an additional 3 days. The first week or so at home went fine.. No vomiting, I was able to transition to full liquids with no problem.. Then I went for my 2 week check up. The surgeon said I looked great.. 25 pounds lighter, I felt awesome. As soon as I got home from the appointment everything changed. I started vomiting after every meal. But I could hold down milk and water.. So I was fine with it. I had a few bites of yogurt here and there.. And that was ok. All until yesterday. I can no longer eat or drink anything. Not even ice chips..

So what should I do? I haven't slept from the constant vomiting. I'm scared that I might of developed a stricture.. Even though I know it usually takes 4 weeks.

Any advice?

Agree. What you are describing is not normal. Call your doctor.

You are in a dangerous situation. You will dehydrate quickly. And maybe pull stitches. If you can't see your doctor, go to the hospital, NOW. You have to take good care of yourself, you have had major surgery. Good luck. I hope you are fine. Out us know.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
