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...

      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.
