Are you still in the hospital? I receive nauseau meds through my IV. I asked for them every time the nurse came in, and I never got sick. That said... it will get better, I promise.

Yes it will get better. I had severe nausea the first two nights so bad I was sitting with a trash can in my lap and the night nurse patting my back like I was a little kid LOL. They had to keep increasing the dosage in my IV. I took about 6 Gas X strips at the same time so not sure which really helped.

If you are at home, find someone to drive you to the emergency room. You need liquids and if you're throwing up everything you'll dehydrate quickly!

I felt bad for the first 2-3 days, my liquid pain medicine made me throw up, so I stopped taking it. Throwing up felt like hell too! I was so nauseous until I got a nausea patch that u put behind ur ear, then I felt like a new person. It did get better every day like every one says :)

I was HORRIBLY nauseated for the first three days, until they changed my pain medicine (from morphine to loritab) and started me on Phenergan. Now I'm getting all of my fluids and Protein in, an no more nausea!

Thank you to all of you for your help, I cant wait to feel better, my stomach cramps from drinking, now I understand why people get dehydrated, it hurts to sip, sip,sip, and I'm so tired I barely feel like walking. BUT, I do do both.

Thanks everyone!!! :)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
