I got my sleeve yesterday and had the worst time trying to keep down the ice chips. I was kept on anti nausea meds the whole time. When I was released today I had to drink & keep down 1 oz of Protein and 3 oz of clears per hour for 3 consecutive hours. I nailed it right away and was sent home. Now that the anti nausea has worn off I can’t keep anything down. Is this normal? What do I do? Now I wish I would’ve stayed a day more like my surgery buddy did

Have a great day!

unfortunately nausea is common with some WLS patients. When I was sent home the Dr. gave me anti nausea medication in case I needed it. Fortunately, I didn't. Contact Dr. and ask to be prescribed anti nausea meds.

Called my doc and he managed to get me some anti nausea meds. The nausea is still there but I’m not puking every time I drink anything. Still taking tiny sips (5-7 sips per ounce) to make sure my sleeve doesn’t get angry again. Thanks for the advice [emoji1360]

Nausea can be completely normal for some. It could also be a side effect from the Anesthesia medicine. I had nausea for about 2 days that wore off gradually and it was from the anesthetic as I've had it in the past with other surgeries. Congrats on your sleeve, this is a new beginning for you.

Thank you, my sleeve (Audrey) and I are getting along great now lol. I named her Audrey after the plant from Little Shop of Horrors because she doesn’t gently grumble when she wants something, she punches my in the chest and demands it. [emoji23]


Have a great day!

      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.
