Had a successful sleeve yesterday morning. I've been dealing with Nausea and gas bloat pain that radiates all over. I actually threw up a few minutes ago. Has anyone else thrown up post surgery

yes and it sucks. I am convinced it depends on altitude. I only puke when I am in Colorado. I am in OKC most of the time, so a major change from 250' to 12000' has an effect on my diaphragm. ;-)

Yes that was the worst time for me but I can't express how important it is to walk. Walking will move that gas around and eventually you will pass gas and belch. Trust it's a great feeling. But walking is the key as for volmiting it happens and it is trial and error. Trust me you will be more aware of what your not ready for. Walk walk walk

Vomiting is VERY common after surgery. Did you get sent home with medication for nausea? Use it!

Keep your sips small, a lot of us have the issue with vomiting if we eat too fast - and that includes liquids.

Finally, I know it's the weekend, but if you get concerned, call your surgeon. Somone is always on call 24/7.

Besides the walk-walk-walk, the other mantra to repeat is to consume small amounts, consume them slowly, stop at the first feeling of fullness, and for any foods, chew-chew-chew.

You have had roughly 85% of your stomach removed, so it's not "just" that your portions should be cut in half, they should be cut by 3/4 or more...

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
