2 1/2 weeks post surgery

[Mariaike 1]

Today is my first bad day since my surgery 2 1/2 weeks ago. Since I took my pills this morning I have been nauseous after and during eating,I also get the hiccups and feel like vomiting. Also tons of gas in my chest area and it's painful. I was not able to get all my Protein, liquids and meals down due to feeling this way today. I'm scared- what would you do if it continues tomorrow?

I would definitely give my doctor a call tomorrow. Especially if you do actually start vomiting. At this early stage in your recovery, staying hydrated and getting Protein into you is really important for the healing process. If you have to go in just to get rehydrated, do it. While you're there you can tell them about your symptoms.

If it gets worse before you go in to your doctors, I would go to the ER. Most likely it's not anything very serious and it will pass, but on the off chance that it is serious, don't gamble with your health. The whole reason you had surgery was to take care of yourself. Hope you feel better soon, keep us updated!
