Day 3 and still in pain...



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve done on July 1st and I am still feeling the pain. I had a hernia repair as well and that could be where most of the pain is coming from. I get nauseous when I drink my Protein Drinks but I feel hungry. I've even tried drinking at room temp but it doesn't make a difference. I am drinking lots of Water but I feel that I need to get my strength up. Please help!

I saw someone on YouTube suggest G2. She said that afterwards she just kept feeling nauseated until she did that, she felt like she needed something... Of course I can't offer you medical advice! What about reflux? Could that be the culprit? I'd be taking some meds, I hate being nauseated!

I am having the same issues. I was also sleeved on July 1st. No hernia repair. But I feel severe pain and nausea. I've considered going back to the hospital. I'm going to try isagenix today and see if I can keep it down. Let me know what works for you

Are you taking meds for pain, nausea, and a PPI? Getting your meds right can be trial and error post op, but it really helps. Don't try to be a hero and stop taking meds for things like pain and nausea.

Not sure what you are allowed to drink, but for me, G2, Powerade Zero, and light fruit juice were easier to get down than plain Water. Also low sodium V8 was great, gave me energy, and was a nice change from sweet stuff. Unjury chicken Soup Protein was a godsend for me because especially early on, the sweet Protein Shakes were just too thick and I had trouble with them. Finally, if you are using Protein Powder, try using half the amount of protein powder but mixing them with Fair Life milk or Carb Master milk. You might find them easier to get down and less nausea-inducing that way. Good luck!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
