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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
