  1. Thanks, I have an appointment tuesday, but I just wanted to know how abnormal I am so I know wether I should pressure the doctor to do more extensive testing.
  2. I had gastric sleeve 14 months ago and I still get nauseas and vomit on a regular basis. Triggers are things like water, lettuce, salsa, or just food. Am I super abnormal? I think it may even be getting worse.
  3. I am on day 6 and my stomach gurgles every time a take a sip or bite of "food". I didn't notice it the first few day (ice &water only). Then each day I get more and more gurgling when I consume anything (which includes water, broth, applesauce, and protein shake). Is this just surgery gas finally releasing or is this odd?
  4. This is day 5 of this surgery extravaganza (and it's my birthday = lame). I'm sure I'll eventually be happy about it, but the pain was and is super crappy. The first 2 days were overwhelming. My brain was incapable of dealing with any details. My mom needed help googling where the CVS is located and I just couldn't. The act of leaning over and typing was too much to handle. And the pain was deep and intense. I know why Frankenstein's monster was such a jerk. Surgery just doesn't bring out your friendly side. The last 3 days have been improved, especially in my brain. Now I can feel mostly normal as long as I'm on a couple pills and in the correct position, sitting up in bed. Not my favorite sleeping position and it's often stiff, but I'm just grateful that there is a position. Moving is still a horrible idea. Leaning over is impossible. Waking up without meds in my system is just a rude way to great the day. No one seems to complain about this much pain. Am I out of the ordinary? I wasn't able to drink the liquid pain meds without vomiting, so maybe it's the crushed pills that are inadequate.
