If you read my post yesterday you would know that I was feeling great! I felt great until the car ride home, we even had to stop because I felt sick. I havent actually vomited its just dry heaves, burping and spitting. When i got home I was so tired and sick that I laid in my bed. I woke up and walked a little ( like down the hallway a few times) and went back to sleep.my husband brought my meds homeI took my pain meds ( because i feel more pain then in the hospital) and started the dry heave/burping thing again. Then I took some zofran.

so Is it normal to feel this crappy from the car ride home?

would you be concerned about the dry heaves?

would you consider the dry heaves/ burping/spitting as vomiting?( as i had liquids in my stomach that didnt come out)

It is very normal, from my experience. I am so sorry you are going through this, but I did go through the sweats, heaves, and felt awful for a good week! The pain for me was also intolerable at times. I was begging for more pain meds during the night.

It DOES get better--slowly, but surely, and pretty soon, you will be bouncing around and will forget this~ I blogged about my pain (link below) and you can see the progression in just a few weeks in my energy. You wil lbe there too...hang in there-this is only temporary.

my dr. told me its very dangerous to be throwing up after surgery, see if you can get anti nausea medication. sure would hate to see you get a leak

I had motion sickness on the car ride home, I think that is nomal. My doctor prescribed meds for nausea when I went home, I didn't need them but would assume that most people do or he wouldn't have prescribed them in advance. It is a slow recovery process, but you will feel better. Hugs...hang in there!

I would let your doctor know. Zofran is the anti-nausea medication so you're covered there. However, again, I would let your doctor know as there might be something more you can do, or he/she can do.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
