Post-op upset stomach? May be TMI...



Recommended Posts

I'm day 4 post-op and I suddenly have a bad upset stomach. I feel like all the liquids is going in and back out... TMI sorry but I'm wondering if anyone else has had trouble with an upset stomach right after surgery.

I'm in the same boat. I think the antibiotic is giving me diarrhea and nausea.

Im spitting up foam too....feels nasty!

:mellow:Simply put, liquid in liquid out? Pain meds, if you are taking any, will upset the tummy without food. You aren't eating yet and that might be the cause. Keep sipping your Water and whatever other fluids your doc told you and it should settle down. Most of the Protein Drinks have milk in them and milk is like a whole food.

I can't have Protein drinks yet... :( Just Clear Liquids. Second week I get to add Protein Drinks and creamy Soups, and I can't wait!

Try some peppermint tea. It can soothe nausea. Or you might thin out some Pepto. If it is really bad, call your surgeon and ask for some anti-nausea meds. It isn't uncommon after surgery to experience it. They can call in a prescription for you.

Oh boy do I know what you mean! I'm four days post op also and had terrible nausea and vomiting on my day 2 as well through the nights. My surgeon took me off my antibiotics as well as pain meds. I'm not feeling that bad now but I have a very gassy tummy today that is starting to get really annoying!

Liquid in = liquid out. This too shall pass.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
