So about a week ago i uploaded a post about how nauseous i felt and was unable to drink Water and had on going nausea.
2 days ago i rushed to the emergency room.
I had just seen my surgeon this day and was feeling great. before this i was in bed for weeks feeling the obvious very unwell. I was slowly starting to recover and i felt good enough to go to his office which is about an hour away from where i live.
I went to my appointment all was well and he said i was doing great.
That same day i went to visit my cousins and i was driving i felt a little discomfort on the sides of my stomach but that feeling went away. When i got home i felt an instant stabbing sensation on my lower left back that felt like a sharp/ blade or knife literally stabbing me over and over again i was on the floor rolling in pain and severe agony for 2 hours until the feeling that was in my back traveled to my stomach and the pain was so unbearable i could no longer take it. I rushed to the emergency and i got there at about 12am in the morning i waited till 10:30am the next day until i was seen so i was in 10+ hours of pain. I took endone and many other pain killers literally nothing took the pain away. and at this point due to the aggressive pain i was in i was extremely dehydrated and only received a iv Fluid at 7am and i felt extremely upset as i told them i had just done a bariatric surgery and needed fluids. anyways. i had blood, test ct scans and urine tests. Blood was found in my urine and the excruciating pain was KIDNEY STONES. I did end up passing them through the toilet but this was the worst pain i’ve ever endured in my whole LIFE. Worse than waking up from THE vsg worse than anything i’ve experience id rather go through vsg first day then kidney stones.
Anyone had the same problem as me. i’d love to hear. Thankfully i’m doing a little better now. but the nausea at the hospital was unreal i was unable to down tablet pills or anything and i was gagging every second it was horrendous. I also have super bad Constipation. i feel so heavy. i’ve tried an enema but it didn’t work so hopefully i’m gonna try something else but other than constipation im doing okay now. Babe you had a similar situation is kidney stones very high after Bariatric surgery. the nurses and doctors told me it is because of the less water and food intake.

Sorry to hear it. I'm sure someone told you already, but now you should avoid Calcium carbonate as a Vitamin b/c they can increase kidney stones. Take calcium citrate instead. More expensive unfortunately 😕
Glad you're feeling better though!

Anyone else waking up feeling Nauseous, drinking Water and feeling nauseous and too nauseous to even eat.
As i wake up my mouth is white and so dry it’s hard to even move them as they are stuck together with barely an saliva.
It’s also extremely hard for me to keep down any of my Vitamins as they all make me extremely nauseous.
Not to mention the Constipation.
i’ve been constipated since 15 days ago of my surgery and haven’t had a bm since. i’m not straining nor feel the need to go. I just haven’t been able to do a bm which has made my stomach pretty unhappy and feel sore.

On the 3rd of April i was scheduled for my gastric sleeve. That went great. i woke up with tons of pain all in my shoulder and belly. I had a extremely hard time drinking Water but day 4 and it’s been much easier for me to get down the clear liquid broth that my mum made for me. It was really hard for me the first couple of days as i felt extremely nauseous and suffer with ‘Emetophobia’ so as you can imagine this has been a very hard experience none the less. I was in hospital for 2 days and was sipping on my fluids enough to be sent home which was great as the hospital was very great, welcoming and attentive i just became really home sick the third morning i was there so glad they discharged me that day. I am currently taking laxative for number 2, paracetamol for baseline pain and acid reflux medication i forgot the name but i’ll make another post maybe later on ever medication i’m taking.
My 5 incisions are feeling a little sore but nothing i can’t handle but they are getting particularly itchy.
I have been taking Powerade zero sugar, gatorade zero sugar and Sustagen for Protein in the morning my stomach has been able to tolerate that well so i’ve been enjoying that. for lunch i had a beef that was boiled in fresh coriander and yummy potatoes. (the broth was strained) hahaha.
right now just focusing to up my Fluid intake as much as possible as i don’t want to be dehydrated and follow my surgeons instructions with the broth and protein milk which has been going good.
4th day has been amazing for me. I was super emotional the first 3 days but today has been great for me.
I’ve lost 5KG which is great pre op i lost 3KG and post op i’ve lost 2KG.
Any tips or tricks or suggestions from fellow sleevers please comment below i’d really appreciate the advice.
Any post op sleevers the same time as me please leave a comment i’d love to see how you guys are coping. Stay safe xx
