I had my surgery at 10am. It's now 1am next day and I'm in pain and can't sleep and keep having to spit out spit to stop myself throwing up. Please let me know I'm not the only one who's been like this and it got better :( :(

It will get better. The day following my surgery I vomited all day! No matter what I had. It was the worse thing ever. But that was the one and only day. Just make sure you are taking your anti nausea medication even if it is a little before you should to try to get in front of it. And keep trying to drink ( which I know is externally hard).

Thank you so much for replying. I'm not allowed to drink the first day. I've had nausea meds but every time I move I start needing to throw up. Have a puke bag full of spit.its so bad and I can't sleep. Have to pick between sick or pain. I wonder if changing my pain medication helps. I hope I can sleep soon :(

Well, During the day of hell :wacko: I personally did not take any pain medication. Even though I was in pain I thought it would only make it worse for me. So what I did do was take some liquid Tylenol the kind you find OTC it is for Adults and it is red in color. That helped sooooo much with the pain and I only had to take about a total of 4 pain pill my whole recovery. I had an outpatient surgery sleeve, an hernia repair and I was able to manage on the liquid Tylenol. Maybe that will provide some relive. Are you at home? or still in the hospital? The know sleeping will last a few days. Just try to take as many little naps as you can your body does need the rest.

      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.
