2-3 days post op... still sick



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve don’t Monday. I’m still in the hospital as I had a high heart rate. I have barley ate or drank but I’m staying hydrated via IV fluids. I’m sooo nauseous!! I wonder how long I’ll feel like this? I’m concerned because nauseous and throwing up bile... what happens when I have Protein Shakes or something in my stomach? Am I just gonna be vomiting all the time???

I was heaving for a couple days post surgery. Would've vomited but there was nothing in there to bring up.

It settled down soon enough though and I was fine by the time I went home.

Did the hospital give you zofran? That should help with the nausea.

While I was in the hospital I didn't drink much either, I kept trying just so I could get discharged to go home. And once I was home I felt much better because I was in my own house.

Also ask for a scopolamine patch for the nausea. Stops it dead in its tracks.

The patch and zofran is t working. Still in the hospital and they gave me Reglan which if better. I’m having the worst anxiety because I feel like I cannot get relief. I had surgery Monday and I do how long this will last but I hate it and I’m terrified to go home

Sorry to hear that but it will get better, I had my surgery 9/18 and it took me 6 days to feel normal again. so hang in there. I am just a week and two days out but it’s getting better every 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.
