@@tiffanymarie6997 I'm glad you called them. I'm sure being able to keep your pain meds down will make you feel a little better.....at this stage focus more on Water than Protein.....once you can keep the Water down then worry about the Protein. Take care!!!

Has anyone heard from Tiffany? Her surgery was Monday and I haven't seen here online since then....I'm just wondering how she is doing.

I'm having a rough time. Puking a lot, I puke every time I take my pain medicine which is liquid, and even sometimes when I only drink the smallest sip of Water I puke. I've been in a lot of pain, and can hardly drink anything due to throwing up and all the pressure in my chest. My follow up appointment is tomorrow. I'm going to explain what's going on and update you on what they decide to do. Thanks for checking on me!

I'm feeling better today, day 3. I actually started off feeling somewhat okay yesterday but the nurse gave me some morphine and two other drugs through my iv and it was downhill from there until it wore off I guess. I'm hoping to go home today.

I am feeling really good today except for the "hard to pee" thing.

Keep us updated Tiffany! Sending prayers your way

I haven't vomited any more, still pretty sore. My doctor said me dry heaving probably made me more sore than I would have been. I've been able to pee, but still no BM. The gas pains are rough...feel like my chest/stomach are exploding at times. I just had my post op appointment and they said I'm doing good, beside one incision that's red around it. I have to keep an eye on it and if the redness spreads any more they'll put me on some antibiotics. I still feel bad....but I feel better than I did. Hopefully I keep improving! Getting all my Water and Protein in is hard with all this pressure in my chest and stomach. I'm doing my best. I hope everyone else is doing okay!

@@tiffanymarie6997 Glad to hear you're starting to feel a little better. I haven't had my surgery yet, but from what I've seen on this site from folks who have, it gets better each day.......Hang in there and walk as much as you can..,,,,and when you can't rest. :)

Keep us updated.

If your pain medicine is anything other than liquid Tylenol then that is probably why you are puking. Opiate pain medicine has several side effects chief among them: nausea and vomiting. You should be taking Zofran for nausea first then liquid Tylenol for pain in that order. Scopolamine patch is a transdermal system so that you get your nausea meds even if you can't keep anything else down. And yes you need a prescription. Pain meds make me so sick I had to get that patch BEFORE they gave me any anesthesia.

If you are looking for Protein get some Premier Protein shakes from Amazon. They will ship to your house. Also I could not bear plain Water so I got "Vitamin Water Zero"... the Rise Orange flavor was and still is the best. I hope this helps. Take care of yourself. If that redness or your pain gets any worse you call your surgeon and if he is not responsive go to the ER. If your urine gets dark go to the ER. I hope that you are feeling better, but please take care of yourself.

      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.
