Good morning all. I just had my surgery yesterday. I'm still in hospital cause I can't keep down liquids. Did anyone else have this issue and for how long?

I had that problem. I still only stayed in the hospital for 2 days. It was full days though. I had my surgery at 6 am Sept 21, 2016 and was not released until the 23rd at around 8 pm. A couple of tricks that I learned was to mostly sit straight up and keep a wet towel close by. When you feel that you are going to throw up, put the towel on the front of your neck. It doesn't always work, but it mostly does.

I hope you get to go home soon.

Update: I had my GS on Monday and could not keep liquids down. I was just released yesterday. I have IV at home because everything else was fine, but surgeon didn't want to take a chance on me being dehydrated and ending up back in the hospital . I tried flavor but anything sweet quickly cme back with a vengeance!????????????

Glad you finally got to go home. Hang in there, it will get better. Liquids are still hard for me. So is getting in the Protein. I want some veggies, but they cause bad gas and I always regret eating them.

      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!!
