Atkin2019 YES! Definitely weak! I was even having a problem with water, but that has been okay now. Something with the protein just doesn’t digest in my stomach well. I am glad water works, but the hunger is real! I got some minestrone soup from the store today & drained it so I could eat the broth & I got about 5-6 sips down before I didn’t feel good to my stomach. Working on staying on top of my acid reflux & nausea today to see if that helps! Good luck!!!!

All great tips!!! I was told gas x wouldn’t work bc it’s not gas in the intestines.. I also realized that my fluids were just sitting on my chest. I called my doc & they said ice chips & popsicles to ensure I don’t dehydrate ? Slow & steady wins the race!!! ??

I’m on post op day 3 (gastric sleeve on 3/18/19), & am having a horrible time getting liquids down. I can only do ice chips. I’ve tried freezing my Protein20 water & the sweetness kills me! Please tell me this gets better!! Any small sip I take makes me feel like it’s just sitting in my chest & HURTS!! When will I feel normal again?? I’m desperate for some relief & positive stories!!! Thanks all :)

It gets better in about 3-4 more days.
I was sleeved 2/6 and I cannot believe it has now been over 6 weeks.
The time has flown by

So, my sleeve surgery went great! Little to no anxiety which is great... however, the pains from bloating and the ‘gas’ hurt so bad!!! Fever of 100.7 F so very low grade. Fluids are hard to get down bc of the extra full feeling I have from gas bubbles. I’ve walked, doing deep breaths, patted myself on the chest as if I was burping a baby... any other tricks and tips for getting rid of the gas stuff???

I didn't have any nausea. Also, when you are first drinking liquids, even if you throw up it will only be a little bit of liquid, not such a big deal. I didn't even take all my pain meds and the pain was not bad. Good luck, I'm sure everything will go well and your doctor sounds attentive to your concerns.

The first day post-op is the worst, but after that it's easy peasy with no nausea or pain. Good luck!

One more sleep??!! Yay!!!! The pain varies from person to person. They ask you repeatedly what’s your level of pain and mine was never over a 6/7. Talk to your anesthesia team and stress how you are prone to nausea . I used to get violently sick after surgeries from nausea but they have come SO far with being able to manage it. Once they give you that relaxing medication you won’t care about anything! Lol! They also gave me an anti nausea patch I wore behind my ear for the first three days.
Good luck and keep us updated on your progress ??

You will do fine! Definitely ask for the scopolamine patch behind your ear and the zofran. Together my nausea (surgery 3/12) was very manageable. Good luck!!

I was sleeved over 4 years ago. I was never nauseous & have never thrown up. I do, however, understand your anxiety. Keep breathing. You're going to get through this. Winston Churchill said, "If you're going through hell, keep going." Good luck! You are not alone!

Hi all! I have Gastric Sleeve Surgery on Monday 3/18/19. I’ve had anxiety a lot of my life, which my outward sign is nausea, which causes more anxiety, which causes more nausea... you get the picture, lol.

I’ve been on my pre op liquid diet for 9 days, tomorrow being my 10th, & my last sleep before surgery... AHHHH!

I’m super excited for the outcome, but terrified of the pain & nausea after surgery. The anesthesiologist plans to give me something to calm me before surgery & plans to double up on my nausea meds before I wake up after, but I am still worried about it. Any tips, tricks, success stories of no nausea, etc. that will help put my mind at ease?

Thanks so much!!!!!
