5 days post op and cant keep anything down



Recommended Posts

Hi guys I'm 5 days post op and can't keep nothing down. I'm sipping as slow as I can but not helping it's coming out of one way or the other. Any suggestions?!?!?!

Have you contacted your medical team?

What are you trying to eat?

Does it happen after the 1st bite or after several?

How much time are you taking between bites?

Some folks end up lactose intolerant for a bit, so avoid anything milk based and see if it resolves.

I'm still on the liquid face. I told them even before I was discharged n they just asked me to log what I drank n to kp trying (wasn't my actual surgeon an assistant) I'm drinking Water, Gatorade 2. Neither is working.

I'd call the doctor. My doctor gave me her cell phone number in case of an emergency. If yours did that, I'd make a call. That was one of the things on the list my doc gave me that needs immediate attention!

Also, try adding a SF flavoring packet to your Water. I had a hard time with plain water the first two weeks, but I'm almost 4 weeks out now and have no problem with it.

I'm sorry you're having so much trouble. Hope you can get it resolved real soon! And, yes, that is a laxative! I don't think it fits this picture...

I had my surgery Friday oct 4th and had the exact same experience and it also ended with a trip to the ER and 4 bags of fluids for dehydration. My ER doc gave me a script for a sublingual zofran that dissolves under my tongue which helped me BIG TIME! Next day was still nauseated but could finally hold down liquids. Try sugar free popsicles too they really helped me but you will probably be really weak for a few days I know I was. Good luck to you!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
