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?

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

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
