I am 8 days post op. This morning I had my first BM and I noticed it was bile. I know it is cause since I had my gallbladder taken out 5 years ago it would happen with fried foods. I am still on clear liquids. This afternoon I went to store with my husband but as soon as we got there I became very sick with chills and nausea. Once we got home is when I rushed in the bath and vomited bile. I am still having chills I jumped in hot shower immediately to see if I can warm up. I'm trying to take in water now and its hard for me to even get about more than an 1oz. Please help? I been in tears cause how weak feel and how I might have ruined my life with this surgery.

I think you need to call your physician ASAP. Could be nothing but that's why they have a call center. Even if just to ease your mind.

i'm not sure what you mean about your bm being 'bile'. Bile is what gives the bm its color, all the time. Chills and nausea makes me think of infection. Take your temp. is it over 100? Are you able to keep any liquids down? Try gatorade or pedialyte. Dont worry about the sugar at this moment, your body needs the sugar (if you're dehydrated).

If you have a fever, can't keep liquids down, vomit blood, pass blood in the stool, or any thing else weird, get yourself checked out at an e.r.

it is not likely you ruined your life. new sleeves can come with some attitude. I myself, shat myself just the other day while driving to work. just keepin it real.

Gelica, i am so sorry youre having a rough go of this. It does get better--and soon. I understand the regrets you are having right now.

But for today-- get yourself into see a doc. you need hydration probably. that alone will help you feels heaps better.

Go today since the long weekend is coming and it will be a major pain to get seen before Monday. Dont wait that long to feel better.

Take care of yourself. you have been on my mind. PM me if you want to.

Hugs,

tink

I'm thinking infection too.

Thanks everyone I did try calling the dr office but no answer today. I found an easy way for me to get Water in (ice chips). It helps me from drinking water too fast and hurting. I think I was approaching serve dehydration. Today was also the day I was able to move into full liquids, I decided to wait and work on H2o today. My husband has grounded me from going anywhere and still not permitted to drive until I have enough strength.

Sonic has the best ice to chew! trust me on this.

plus- 44 oz of ice chips equals 22 oz of fluids

The premier shakes are best for me as a slush as well. Maybe try one that way. They're 30g Protein

It's normal to vomit bile if you are nauseated on an empty stomach. Chills also point to nausea. Try some peppermint or ginger tea. By all means contact your doctor but it is probably nothing to worry about. As for the runny BM, very normal when you are on liquids.
