Post-Vomiting Stomach Sensitivity



Recommended Posts

Not sure it's the best title, but I couldn't think of how else to phrase it.

On Sunday, I had an allergic reaction to a bee sting (I'm a beekeeper) and as I learned, vomiting can be part of the allergic reaction. There was nothing in my stomach, but that didn't seem to stop my stomach from trying to expel itself from my body. It went on for quite a while before it stopped. Now, I find that my stomach is extra sensitive. I can't eat as much as normal and it just doesn't seem happy with anything I put in it. It's nothing extreme, I just can tell nothing is sitting well. I'm not surprised after what it went through on Sunday, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this kind of post-vomiting sensitivity, and how long it may have taken for it to ease up? I can eat and drink, so I am not terribly worried. I have not vomited post surgery, so this is new territory for me and am trying to get a sense of what to expect.

My surgery center said that after we have an episode of vomiting we should drink only Clear Liquids for about 24 hours, or until the vomiting/nausea subsides. I was throwing up a lot from my Multivitamin but my stomach was fine after I threw up the multivitamin. You might reach out to your surgery center, but you could try resting your stomach? Did you take anything like benadryl after the bee sting reaction? I wonder if that would help/hurt.

Thanks for this. I was in the ER for a few hours and they administered Benadryl, steroids, etc. I'm back to normal from the reaction, I just think my poor sleeve went through some drama. I'll try to take it easy and eat light items. If it persists even with rest I'll check in with the surgery center.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
