Good morning all. I just had my surgery yesterday. I'm still in hospital cause I can't keep down liquids. Did anyone else have this issue and for how long?

I had that problem. I still only stayed in the hospital for 2 days. It was full days though. I had my surgery at 6 am Sept 21, 2016 and was not released until the 23rd at around 8 pm. A couple of tricks that I learned was to mostly sit straight up and keep a wet towel close by. When you feel that you are going to throw up, put the towel on the front of your neck. It doesn't always work, but it mostly does.

I hope you get to go home soon.

Update: I had my GS on Monday and could not keep liquids down. I was just released yesterday. I have IV at home because everything else was fine, but surgeon didn't want to take a chance on me being dehydrated and ending up back in the hospital . I tried flavor but anything sweet quickly cme back with a vengeance!????????????

Glad you finally got to go home. Hang in there, it will get better. Liquids are still hard for me. So is getting in the Protein. I want some veggies, but they cause bad gas and I always regret eating them.

      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.
