Had my surgery yesterday!



Recommended Posts

Hello everybody, I just had my surgery yesterday around 2:30pm. I could not stop throwing up all day and still throwing up when I have to take meds by mouth. Pain isn't too bad unless I throw up obviously. Did anyone experience the same thing? If so, how long did it last for you until you felt better and was able to drink stuff without it coming back up?,

Hi nellybelly! Congrats first of all. My first day I was throwing up and having dry heaves but they told me it was more likely from anesthesia and pain meds than surgery itself. They gave me nausea medication every 3 hours and when I went home I took it every 4 hours. Did they give you anything for nausea?

I had that starting late on day two and all of day 3. Took me a few tries to find the right combo I’d nausea and spasm meds to take. I’m on day 4 now and have been able to keep everything down. So scary, especially when you know there is nothing in there to come up. Took me a day to realize it was nausea that was getting me. It does get better. I tried several different drinks too. Also helped when I got in some diluted juice.< br>

Awe god bless you, thank goodness you are better now! I finally feel better today and it's day 2 for me! I am able to go home if I can keep my liquids down. Which I'm sure I can since I have taken my meds fine. I still get like hungry pains it feels like. Is that normal too?

Nellybelly04, I had my surgery the same day as you did. I had surgery before and I am always nauseated from anesthesia. I was lucky as I did not throw up but I tried to keep on top of the nausea and tried relaxation tools like meditation and visualization. I feel for you as I was so worried I was going to vomit. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers as we are same day surgery buddies. It sounds like you have a very positive attitude which will serve you well.

Awe yay surgery buddies! I'm happy that you didn't get sick! That is awesome! I finally was feeling better around 7am. I got to eat around 2pm after I got my xray done to make sure there was no leakage. And everything went down so well. I'm just dealing with hunger pains right now since I have ate since Sunday night. But other than that, I'm doing really good! I hope you are doing good as well!! I will keep you in my prayers! Thank you again dwiana67!!!

I had surgery yesterday. My hospital put a a tiny nausia dot behind my ear.

They also gave me some iv cocktail to reduce nasia.

From a previous surgery, carpol-tunel, the coding in Tylenol 3 made me natious.

I have been hungry too and from what I have read from others, this will continue. Many individuals say this is real. Others say this is mind over matter. I am sure that this will be difficult until we can eat solid foods. It is very difficult not being able to chew and eat things we are used to eating. I am wanting everything I see others eating and on t.v. I am trying to stick to Netflix and remind myself in time I can eat regular food. I think it is just going to take time. At least that is what I am telling myself.

      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.
