5 Days Post Op...still Nauseous



Recommended Posts

I was banded 5 days ago and I am feeling worse. I am still on liquids and haven't strayed a bit from that. But each time I have a Protein Drink, I feel sick. I haven't thrown up...thank goodness. I also have a horrible pain on the left side, sometimes almost doubled over. I have drank a lot of Water and tried to walk. I had to lay in bed all day yesterday because it hurt so bad. Anyone else have this?

well, i am sorry you are feeling poorly and i hope you get to feeling better.

your stomach/insides is still very swollen still so you must sip. not drink.

i found out after my surgery that drinking too quickly (or too fast) or too much made me sick to my stomach. are you sipping (baby sips) as you stated you drank alot of Water?

not sure of the pain you describe. if its that bad and you are doubling over, please call the dr and ask them as they'd know what to advise.

I agree with Carolina Girl. Call the doctor! You paid him after all!

Thanks for the tips. I guess I am am drinking rather than sipping :(. The Dr told me that it is common to have pain on my left side because that is where the port is and my body has to do the most adjusting there. Should I just be sticking to broth or is Protein Drinks ok too?

You definitely need to continue to have your Protein, because that's what you body needs to continue to heal post op.

I used broth when I experienced cravings for salt during my liquid diet both pre op and post op. Otherwise, I sipped Water and had SF popsicles, along with the 4 Protein shakes every day recommended by my surgeon for the Protein and Calcium.

Definitely sip your liquids slowly, and be certain that you are getting enough fluids to stay properly hydrated. Nausea can be a symptom of dehydration.

I hope you feel better fast!

Was banded on the 23rd. I too, have been nauseated, with a lot of stomach churning after every sip of anything. Doc office this morning advised me to try some gas-x strips. I have done 2 and so far so good. Sipping Vitamin Water zero and Protein Shakes, seems to have helped.

good luck !

becareful not to get constipated. I had that problem after surgery and it was horrible side pain. After 5 days i was sipping alot of Water and eating some saltine crackers. but stuck to liquid items other than crackers. walking really does help. the more the better. Good luck. I was banned August 20 and am down 38 lbs

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
