4 Days Post-Op Blues

[Thickness33 3]

Had my sleeve this past Thursday & I feel horrible. Still have a lot of gas & pain. I've been walking some but not as much as I can (I know this will help with the pain & gas.) My main concern is that I can't tolerate anything. I've only been able to take a few sips ofwater & Protein Shakes before I start to feel nauseous. Any suggestions on how to get pass this? I don't wanna get dehydrated & end up in the hospital.

Have you tried hot fluids? I had a lot of difficulty with the cold Protein shakes and cold Water, but warmed broth seems to go right down. I also had my sugary on the 12th. Hang in there.

I'm about to try some broth now. I've tried room temp Water & it goes down a little better, but not much. Thanks for the tips.

I went through the the same thing. I had mine done on April 20th. I ended up to the point that a shower was enough to make me want to pass out. I got some pedialite, that helped. I also would get crushed ice. Like from sonic or wherever you have local. That helped me more than anything. At about 5 or 7 days I had Greek yogurt.. I watered it down with almond milk. That was a HUGE boost. Mentally and physically.

I was thinking about some crushed ice earlier & I'll try that to help prevent dehydration. I didn't think about the Pedialite but I have a feeling that's gonna make me nauseous too. My nausea medicine is even my enemy at this point. I know I made the right decision getting the surgery but these past few days have been absolute H E L L!!!

I couldn't handle the broths, and powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Soups... I got to where the thought of them made me want to hurl. Once I finally tried Greek yogurt, even though it was early... it was so tastefully satisfying that I got over the complete he'll I was going through.

Anything warm has helped me. Water and even my fave crystal light is not going down easy.. Hope you feel better! I am sure in teh sme boat!

My surgery was on the 10th, so I'm just a couple days ahead of you. The first week has been way more difficult than I expected! I've never been a person to throw up easily, or even experience much nausea, so I thought this would be the same. Nope. The nausea and vomiting has been awful. And the medicine is so gross I throw up almost every time I take it. but the good news? I haven't thrown up once today! (Knock on wood) I know I'm not getting the required fluids and Proteins, but I am getting a little more each day. I can't think of anything I actually enjoy eating right now, but here are some of the tolerable items: Soup broth, Popsicles, carnation instant Breakfast, and iced tea with lemon. Weirdly, what I'm craving is something spicy. I'd love some chips and salsa right about now. A friend is bringing us some of her homemade chicken tortilla Soup, and I can't wait to enjoy some of that broth!

Hang in there. You will feel better soon. You just went through a major surgery and your body needs to heal / adjust. Try to get your Water and Proteins daily. This is what you need to focus on. Regarding Water, I need to add flavor to it. I can't drink it without. You should try it too. I am almost 2 months out (surgery on March 22) and things get better. Take care.

I thought people were "just saying that" to make me feel better, when they would say "hang in there it gets better." No, seriously, it does. I went from what the hell...did I just do... to around day 12.. feeling noticeably better. 15, felt great. Still feeling great. I notice at work I start feeling tired around 5 pm. Other than that.. and being on about 10 days of stall... things are good. So, really, hang in there... it honestly does get better.

Day 4.. I was a wreck. Could hardly drink, everything wore me out... I'd cry if someone asked how I was... I didn't even speak to my family, just silence.

2nd day after surgery I was a wreck... I had to go do upper GI to check for any leaks... Now this liquid would be the first thing I would drink after the surgery, they tell me to try to take larger amount in and I am like but I can't I have to sip... Then then laid me to check other angles except to turn to the sides after abdominal surgery it's pretty hard... So I am tearing up, then these techs are like what is your favorite food so they can get my stomach working... I am like are you seriously asking me this question after I have been on liquid diet for 2 weeks and just had this done and can't have any of those things I would have eaten in the past lol man, I got so emotional, I felt like they didn't have any compassion ugh... I am better now,going on 4th day.

[jccanada 314]

That would be awful. I'm at day 26.

I didn't think the gas would ever go away but it did by about day 6 for me. Hang in there it gets better. Drink warm drinks and maybe warm showers. That helped me. Walking too!
