1 Day Post Op -- Hard Time



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I just had my surgery yesterday and was sent home this afternoon. I had neaseau in the hospital but they controlled it with IV zophran and fenergan (spelling). Ever since the car ride home I can't keep anything down. If I move the slightest I start dry heaving. I haven't been able to drink so all that's coming up is foamy. I called the on call doctor and they told me to take 2 zophran at once instead of one...and I am still vomiting every couple of minutes. MY stomach hurts so bad from heaving and I would like any advice!!!

Is it a dissolving under the tongue pill or the kind you have to swallow?

Also, that kind of vomiting is not good. You might have to go back to the hospital. are you on the West Coast? Can you call your surgeons office again? Don't worry about being a nuisance, just call. Does the hospital you had your surgery in have a bariatric unit you were on? You can call them. Or just go.

Sorry you are feeling so bad. My rny bypass was the tenth. What did you have? I would go to ER if it continues. You do not want to make things worse by dehydration. I had my surgery early in the morning of the tenth and went home late afternoon on the thirteenth. Prayers your way. Paula

Go straight to your bariatric team or if you cant then go to the ER, where I hope they will be able to help you. I really hope you feel better soon.

*hugs*

      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.
