Well I was sleevef on the 28th and vomiting and dry heave for probably about at 16 ' date='hours i'm allergic to a lot of the medications that they can give you for that. Its the first maybe I'm not sure. I'm felling better and I'm going to get to go home from the hospital today. Hope everyone else is doing good[/quote']

Try scopolamine patch. Its amazing. Also reglan and zofran. I was very scared of the nausea too

I was sleeved on May 27 th and I've had some bad moments with the liquids hurting my stomach,but the only relief for me are the sugar free popsicles they are the best.

I ask my dr about that so he said I was drinking too fast!!!he said sips only. Imagine that!!! I used to chugg mi water

I'm nearly 4 weeks post op and on soft food. I have been having a lot of trouble with nausea. I spoke to my surgeon about it and he said it was due to acid in my stomach. I'm on nexium for this but I'm allowed to use gaviscon before each meal to help with this. And I'm happy to say it has!! Finally! Sorry I'm a little excited!

I just are some tuna and crackers and felt fine! And, the best part about it was there was 15g of protein in it!

I was sleeved May 13. Have had tuna salad the past few days for lunch...yesterday ate it with 4 ritz crackers. Was heavenly. Today I'm having some tomato bisque and the tuna. I feel kinda normal....

my day was Tuesday. May 28 th and im just getting home. I had sholder and upper back pain from the air. then I had really bad nausea but I am finally home walking and trying to eat. Glad the painful part is over. looking forward to the new me!

I got home from the hospital today. So far i have walked about 1 mile. Gas is the hardest thing so far.

I tried two different new foods today. One was refried beans with some cheese that I added, and the other was artichoke heart. I chose them both since they have higher protein counts, and can be easily mashed. So far, so good. I even got a smidge of my lemon butter sauce with the artichoke. I got about 2oz of the beans and and 1oz of the artichoke.

Just had surgery yesterday somebody please tell me this gets better I can't keep anything down and still feeling nausea. They are keeping me in the hospital tonight.

It does get better. I was sleeved on the 28th, and the first day was horrible. I stayed overnight from Tues to Wed. However, as soon as I was at my home, things were/are better. Tomorrow, I get 8oz of protein to fit in to the daily routine of clear liquids.

Im 3 days post op. It is getting better. My pain is better. I wish i could sleep for more than 2 hours at a time. Im having trouble drinking water. It hurts when it goes down. I did find that warm tea is much easier. Yesterday was able to eat some cream of wheat,soup,mushed up beans and pudding. I had a very ruff start post op i dry heaved and vomited for about 16 hours. I'm allergic to most meds that help. Glad to say that is pretty much gone. So far I'll glad i did this. Hope everyone else is doing well.

It's officially one week ago today and I'm getting better everyday. I get to start eating yogurt and creamy soups today. I'm so excited to try something other than broth. I'm still having some gas pains occasionally and they do hurt! Is anyone else feeling this? Hope everyone else is doing well. You're all in my prayers and God bless!!!

I'm 10 days post-op and I still get gas after eating (also depends on what I eat). I'm on full liquids and it's nice to have a few different things now. I was having a lot of issues drinking my protein shakes. I think I'm lactose intolerat so so of them had me running to the bathroom. Others I just can't choke down anymore.

But I found some Sunkist protein shots at Dierburgs. One is 2.5 oz with 24 grams of protein (isolate) the other is 3.2 oz with 43 grams of protein. They come in orange, grape and fruit punch. They don't taste too bad. They are fruity, sweet/tart. So I can get my protein in without having to drink so much during the day. Hope this helps others:)

Hi all... so surgery was done in like 45 min. Because I didn't had the proper nutrition before I came into surgery, my blood pressure was horribly low... I faint 2 times trying to stand up and go to the bathroom... Finally my doctor ordered a unit of blood... and over night I been picking up my normal vitals... I haven't been able to walk at all, because we are waiting for the doctor approval, but I can go to the bathroom by myself =) because I haven't been walking, gas pain is the only thing I have... I have 6 surgery points, and my stomach is not upset as I thought it will be... this morning I had a swallowing test, where they made me drank a horrible taste solution to see if I don't have any licking... that's all I taste so far =/ overall I'm good... hoping to be walking again and finally relieve this gas pain.. I'll keep you posted =)

I was sleeved on the 28th in Tijuana. My 1 1/2 hour op turned into close to 4 hours. I had adhesions from a previous surgery and it took them hours to release them all. Felt pretty crappy Tuesday night but since then I've felt great!!! No issues with drinking anything. That first cup of tea yesterday was like the nectar of the gods. I had to be careful not to chug it. Lol. Drinking lots of Gatorade, sipping every few minutes. Walked 45 minutes to Walmart, uphill. I've had it easy I think. Poor hubby at home in Canada, on the other hand, says he aged 20 years while I was having my op. can't wait to get home tomorrow. ????
