Day 3

[smcbee79 40]

Monday I got sleeved. Day 2 was horrible! Done nothing but vomit. Today thats all done and I am finally home. Did anybody notice their heart seem to race after surgery? Im wondering if it could be from the gas bubbles.

Keep an eye on it. Fast heart rate could be the sign of a leak.

I also had my surgery Monday. I'm not home yet due to the sever nausea and vomiting. I have no hungry or desire to drink. How are you doing at home?

[smcbee79 40]

They,new i was going fast when i left. We did the swallow test and everything is fine too. I no have a history of having a fast heart rate but havent had a problem with it untill last night actually. Thats why im just wondering if the gas could be contributing to it. I have absolutely no pain whatsoever juat the occasional gas grumble.

[HopeandAgony 566]

I'm still semi miserable. By far worst surgery I have ever had and this is #8 for me. I am really concerned with getting my fluids and Protein in.

Your heart can also race from pain. Just keep a close eye on it.

[smcbee79 40]

Im sorry your miserable. Im toleratimg everything orally and have no pain with the exception of gas bubbles

I'm still pre op until Monday. I'm on a 10 day liquid diet. Yesterday I pretty much gagged and cried while getting my Protein Shakes down. Today I've thrown both up. Sorry if that's tmi. broth doesn't make me full and my unflavored Protein isn't here yet. I live in a very rural small town.

What did you guys do when you were on your pre op diet? Advice would be so appreciated!

[smcbee79 40]

I didnt have a preop diet we were told just not to gain weight. The day before I had to do a clear liquid but that was it.

[HopeandAgony 566]

Sorry whitty, I didn't have any issues pre op.

Just had surgery Monday. I came home yesterday. I'm feeling ok.. I went for a walk this morning to get the air moving.. Tried sipping on Protein, so far so good.. Just want this drain out... Monday, can't come fast enough..

[HopeandAgony 566]

No drain here. I drank 12 ox Protein Drink this morning. Took an hour but went down well. Also dry heaving in the mornings. Blah

I cheated on my liquid diet the girst 7 days. I ate out but still had my Protein Shakes. I lost about 12 lbs pre op. I was completely committed to the liquids on the last 3 days before surgery. I had no issues. Syntrax Nectars was the Protein i used. I mixed them with Water and they taste good. They have lemon and tea flavors as well as the standard chocolate and vanilla flavors. After surgery i did not like them for about a month.

[smcbee79 40]

I feel real lucky I am sipping on my shake and tolerating it great. Thinking maybe in just dehydrated. Im used to drinking like a gallon of Water a day and now its significantly decreased

[HopeandAgony 566]

You sound like you are doing great smcbee. Just keep an eye on the heart rate and don't delay seeing the Dr if you get any other symptoms. I am so nauseous it's horrible. I did enjoy my Protein Shake today though so I'll take it.

[smcbee79 40]

So far i have had 2 Popcycles 12oz shake and about 40 oz of Water. Thinking im dehydrated

[HopeandAgony 566]

You have more than me ( it's 11AM here). I have has 33 Oz of Water, 12 of them came from my Protein Shake. I'm really pushing to drink. It's not easy for me being so nauseous
