Hey guys, I went to the ER and got a ekg done (along with ultrasounds, CT scans and x-rays) and the doctor concluded (along with contact with my main surgeon) that I had a Ileus bowl obstruction that was preventing intake of nutrients and fluids. Tomorrow I will be going to have a personal appointment with my surgeon about to how to handle the situation from now on, right now I got prescribed multiple medications to helps keep my fluids down and soothe my sore throat.

I have low urine output and it is dark yellow. And it's totally dehydration, I track how much I drink, and out of the 64 ounces I'm supposed to consume a day, I barely reach half that daily. My surgeon basically told me to push through it and keep drinking, and I will. Thank you for your wishes, btw

Yeah I take that and now Metoclopramide (since yesterday) before my meals. It's sort of a coin flip if relieves nausea.

11 days post op, and I'm not sure if I am either doing something wrong, something is wrong with my body or both. Whether I'm resting, moving or sitting all I feel is a need to throw up (and I do puke a lot, needing a bowl around me 24/7). My body heats up rapidly along with a very rapid heart beat from minimum activity or even being just sedentary. I do take in the fact that I am obese (313 lbs right now) and physical activity has easily excited my body, but this level of just walking across the room feeling my heart pounding and needing to puke out my guts. Despite all this I try to (following guidelines on how to lightly consume and time between) injest my needed liquids and proteins. It's just incredibly frustrating and scary feeling the need to throw up all my liquids just from lightly sipping my water or protein shake. In fact most of my activity is laying/sitting trying to keep down and sip my needed fluids. My family has highly advized me to keep being active, and I try but not as hard as I should I know. They think all this is something I need to just push through but I'm just not sure if that is right. For my surgeon, Dr. Turnquest, I had my virtual checkup with him yesterday and did inform me it's highly unusual for the puking, and after giving me a prescription to help keep fluids down, said to keep in touch within 48 hours about this. Just wanted to flesh out my entire situation right now, so if anyone can tell me if it's something wrong, me being too sedentary, etc. I'd like to know.
