Anyone else unable to keep down liquids post op?



Recommended Posts

Sorry not trying to scare anyone here. I had my surgery August 10. Right after surgery and until now I am unable to keep down liquids. My surgeon told me I was tight . He used a 38 bougie but he sais that It is not only the size of the bougie but also how the skin is wrapped around it. I have never vomited so much in my life . I vomit up slimy bubbly stuff. Also meds . I am however in no pain. I am going to see him and his team every morning for fluids and meds through IV.. they seem to think i should be better soon. As the swelling will come down. Toay is the first day i feel coherent. I have no depression even having gone through this I am happy with my decision. One og the doctors there have had this done. Any three or four of the girls. The staff is really caring and even came in today for only me. They are very experienced with 20 years experience. Can anyone else share experiences?

I'm so sorry you are going through this. Very stressful and scary! I don't have any experiences..since I have not yet been sleeved. I hope the swelling goes down soon and you are able to keep down liquids!

I had surgery Aug 4th and I can't drink more than eight ounces. I went back to the hospital Aug 11th to get rehydrated. I want to know when it is going to get better! I am told to try to drink my Protein but how do I do that when I can't drink? From day of one of surgery I vomited everyday til day four, then I went home. Now if I drink too much or eat something, I start salivating more than normal, the pressure in my stomach is too much, and now I will vomit a small amount. I feel better afterwards, but when will this stop? I wish there was more info from the doctor. I thank everyone on this website that gives us all information. Good Luck, I hope you feel better soon.

I was sleeved Monday and I have felt very tight and it takes me my whole day to get in my 64 oz of fluids, I am still working on about 4 more ounces right now and very ready for bed (been up for 15 hours now). I have to dink slow, it is a good hours to get in 6 oz but it is usually much less - more like 3-4 oz. SF popsicles seem to be easier (maybe helps the swelling?) but so does the broth. All sweet things make me very phlemy so I try and avoid them. I have gotten 1 whole shake down the last two days but before that it was maybe a few ounces of them. My Dr uses a 40 Bougie. Do they have you on a PPI? I can tell it helps some for me.

Hope your swelling goes down soon!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
