2 days post op

Had my surgery, haven't kept anything down since then.

Basically bad acid reflux, gagging and burping with every sip....even the meds seem impossible to keep down...trying to get some Popsicles and jello, maybe that will help

  • So sorry for your complications but congrats on taking the step to be healthier. I had my sleeve on 6/12/14 and gas-x and a Prilosec have made a difference for me. Call your doc of nut and ask first.

  • So after my surgery in Jordan, I am now traveling to kenya for work before headed back to London... Transit in Doha right now, gotta say the flight wasn't as bad as I though, haven't taken any meds..

  • Hey!!! Great we are op-buddies.... My pain is slowly subsiding, but my brushing on the right side is getting worse...sometimes out of nowhere I take a sharp quick breath....but apart from that I'm sl

Did your doctor prescribe a Pepcid or Tums for you to take? This has made a world of difference for me. I am 1 week post op. I am also surprised that you can have Jello so soon after surgery. My doc and nut told me that if it did not go through a strainer easily I could not have it for the first 21 days to avoid any complications. good luck and try to stay hydrated.

I had my surgery the 16th as well. I take pepsid. I broke open the capsule and they are tiny little beads. My issue is just pain. No problem with keeping anything down. Hope it gets better for both of us.

Hope it does get better

Oh goodness,are you traveling?? Can't even fathom that. Using stomach muscles just kill.

Omg, you also flew to Jordan to have wls? Did you have it by Dr Khrais by any chance? In Amman? If you did we were in hospital together. I flew back to London yesterday. And going back to work tomorrow. My surgery was on the 14th! Amazing :-) even if different surgeons... we have to catch up. And by the way, I'm sure you are much better today!! By the way, get someone to cook a good chicken Soup for you! It was like elixir for my tummy after the bloody apple juice got. Since I'm feeling so good!

Do you have medical support back where you live, I.e doctor for follow up, nut to guide and keep you moving forward, etc. And WOW you flew, great job, you still need to go slow and treat yourself well.

So far it's getting better, I'm able to drink more without throwing up...the Soups really help, had some mint tea with cinnamon...thought I might as well add some natural blood thinners somewhere in my drinks....

I'm in kenya now, preparing for some video shoots, I plan on taking it easy, but I will be in on my feet a lot

After I'm done, then will fly back to London

I did have Dr.khrais, 14, Saturday....we were probably on the same floor :P....

I am much better today, I can keep things down...drinking my fluids for the day is easier...I just keep sipping....

Soup is amazing!! Your right, even tea worked wonders for me...

Good luck with work, let's stay in touch

Just got kenya, will be looking for a dr and a nut for follow up, but I have all the diet plans, have my surgeon on speed dial

Hopefully things will be smooth

Been drinking my fluids, I'm not really getting full...been on apple juice, Water...and a half a cup of soup...

Was wondering what's the amount of fluids I need during my first week 2.5?

Should I be thinking of Proteins and Protein shakes or just keep my fluids for now?

I was making chicken soup and wanted to take a bite 0_O

Didn't know how much I would miss food, until I got back home
