Day 3 and still in pain...



Recommended Posts

I had my sleeve done on July 1st and I am still feeling the pain. I had a hernia repair as well and that could be where most of the pain is coming from. I get nauseous when I drink my Protein Drinks but I feel hungry. I've even tried drinking at room temp but it doesn't make a difference. I am drinking lots of Water but I feel that I need to get my strength up. Please help!

I saw someone on YouTube suggest G2. She said that afterwards she just kept feeling nauseated until she did that, she felt like she needed something... Of course I can't offer you medical advice! What about reflux? Could that be the culprit? I'd be taking some meds, I hate being nauseated!

I am having the same issues. I was also sleeved on July 1st. No hernia repair. But I feel severe pain and nausea. I've considered going back to the hospital. I'm going to try isagenix today and see if I can keep it down. Let me know what works for you

Are you taking meds for pain, nausea, and a PPI? Getting your meds right can be trial and error post op, but it really helps. Don't try to be a hero and stop taking meds for things like pain and nausea.

Not sure what you are allowed to drink, but for me, G2, Powerade Zero, and light fruit juice were easier to get down than plain Water. Also low sodium V8 was great, gave me energy, and was a nice change from sweet stuff. Unjury chicken Soup Protein was a godsend for me because especially early on, the sweet Protein Shakes were just too thick and I had trouble with them. Finally, if you are using Protein Powder, try using half the amount of protein powder but mixing them with Fair Life milk or Carb Master milk. You might find them easier to get down and less nausea-inducing that way. Good luck!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
