[yamgirl 8]

it's my 2nd day post op and i feel horrible. nausea, gas and i've vomitted twice. idk what to do. i'm trying to drink and i just feel terrible.. please help..

Yep. Just sleep through the first couple of days. i was so nauseous for a week - do you gave anti- nausea meds? I walked a little to get rid of gas pain a few times a day, and tried to sip but even Water would not go down. Gatorade worked better. Some people like Popsicles. I didn't eat anything for four days and I was able to deal with Protein Shakes and G2 Gatorade very very slowly after that. Let yourself heal from surgery! Hope you're feeling better soon!

Gas x strips that dissolve on your tongue. Someone with more experience will chime in I'm sure. Wouldn't hurt to call your surgeon, especially with the vomiting since I would imagine that couldn't be good for your staple line. Did they give you anything for nausea?

rest. rest. rest. heating pad for the gas

I was given Levasin dissolvable for nausea and have not used it yet today(day 3) I have also used the gas x strips a couple of times. Maybe see if they can prescribe you something for nausea. I was nauseous in the hospital and given a couple different things IV and that basically put me out. I had the slimmies from it. Hope you can find something to feel better. I have been lucky an dhave not had too rough of a ride, yet.

I just posted a day by day in the post op forum. You'd be amazed how much each additional day helps you feel better. I couldn't believe the change from one day to the next. Hang in there and yes, def ask for anti-nausea meds. They do help.

I am sorry love. But unfortunately its the price we pay. It will get better I promise. I remember thinking to myself what the hell did I do to myself but now I am in love with my sleeve. I have lost 37 pounds and feel great. Hope you get better soon.

Hang in there Sweetie... I've had a rough time too. For some of us, it's just harder then others. I feel like all I've been doing is bitching and complaining while everyone around me are just breezing through this recovery period. A friend of mine said she suffered for 3 weeks with buyers remorse, now she wishes she could have done it sooner. She's doing great, and we will too. Bet I can whine louder then you can......

It's not whining if you're hurting and miserable. It's expressing. You're allowed

Are they giving you something for it? The pain medication is giving me nausea so they are giving me regular anti nausea medication as well. I'm also on day 2. The lady next to me said every day things get much better. Hang in there!

I walked all of that out of me.

[yamgirl 8]

Spoke with dr today. Called in nausea med for me. Not drinking enough. The thought of food or even Water makes me sick. Hope ur gets easier.

I did not take any pain meds after the surgery. They all made me nauseated. Once I stoped taking pain meds I felt better!
