Hey! Well I got sleeved yesterday morning. I got the go-ahead to start sipping water today. Both times it has ended with me throwing it up. Any idea how long this phase will last? I'm hoping only a few days

I had really bad reflux/ vomitting the first couple

of days too. I feel your pain... it sucked. They told me it was because of swelling at the base of my esophagus. By day 3, things has pretty much subsided. I still have to drink slowly, but I'm on day 8 and each day is 100% better than the day before!!! Hang in there!!

Oh!!! And - CONGRATULATIONS!!! You're on your way!!!!!!!!

Thank you! That makes me feel a lot better! Thankfully I'm not in too much pain, because my liquid pain meds were the first thing I projectile vomited. Haha

Hathery - Glad to see you are on the other side and hope the vomiting stops soon!

Be well and good luck!

I was sleeved on Tuesday and I still can't keep any water down without feeling like I am going to vomit. I am still in the hospital & running a fever of 101... I guess you can say I am in the "buyers remorse" stage!!!

Have u tried drinking other things...lime adding a splash of low cal/sugar juice or a tiny bit of crystal lite? I am 7 months out and I am still unable to drink plain water it makes me vomit. One of my favorites is the diet cran grape juice and fruit punch crystal lite although I can only stand up to half the packet. Also I still have to have my drinks ice cold once they get warm they upsety tummy and make me feel nauseous. You may have to experiment to find what works for you and be prepared that it may last more than a couple days and you need ur liquids

The first 5 days I was drinking out of a medicine cup that was 1 oz (30ml) and it was very difficult to drink all of that down. I also had a fever for the first 2 days until I started using the spirometer 15x per hour. Also I had to drink like a lady by only sipping ONLY when the liquid touched my lips.

One thing I noticed is if my drink was ice cold I couldn't drink it. It hurt way too bad. Have you tried warm tea? Not hot or anything. Just slightly warm?

Congrats on your sleeve!

They gave me anti-nausea meds in pre-op and then in my IV once I was knocked out.

Sent me home with a RX for them also.

Oh, man, I thought that said,"Splitting Up", a thread about divorce. I gotta get new glasses.

That tummy just got traumatized. I could barely drink a thimble full for a week. It gets better.

I'm worried I may have a fever, too. My chest and cheeks are so flushed and hot, but not my forehead. The doctor is coming by in about an hour so we'll see what he thinks

I had my surgery last Friday. I would vomit 20 minutes after they would give me the anti nausea Meds in my IV .... After the third time, I rejected the anti nausea meds and I was fine. Good luck :-)

Hi hathery, I'm day 4 post op and I have has flushed cheeks (very red and dry actually), but no temp... They don't know why. I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one ice been worried a bit

Oops "I've" been worried a bit (bloody autocorrect!)

The doc told me its because the metabolism surges up to try and heal your stomach once your body realizes its gone.

Hi! I was sleeved on Tuesday and was released to go home today. I've been on the clear liquids but I'm getting spasms that come and go every so often. Anyone else experienced that?
