I am back in the hospital now. The doctor is saying that it is just a complication from the surgery. I don't want to accept that as an answer, but I guess I'll have to for now. Hopefully I'll go home today with anti nausea meds and just wait it out at home, continuing to get dehydrated.

Oh my Dear I can understand the frustration. I am not anywhere near in the same boat with you however I am fighting nausea. I absolutely can not do Water or I've chips they are the worst for me. I stick with sipping slowly on Protein Drink, juice, or sf popcicle. My dr gave me zofran which dissolves on the tongue an it does seem to help. I hope you are doing better. Please let me know I you find anything that helps.

Thanks. My doctor has given me Zofran along with Reglan to calm my stomach but I am still throwing up. Recent blood work showed elevated liver enzymes and bilirubin. I will have a HIDA scan this week to check my gallbladder to see if that's the issue. I haven't had a lot of pain but just over the past two days the nausea and vomiting have gotten worse. I now have blurred vision and numbness/tingling in my upper legs. I just want all of this to be over. This is going on week four of not being able to keep anything down. My body is tired. I've been admitted in the hospital twice and do not want to go back. I'm determined to go to work tomorrow! I just want some relief, no matter how it comes. Thanks everyone for the encouraging words! I appreciate them.

I am back in the hospital, round three. I had a HIDA scan done yesterday that revealed that my gallbladder is not functioning properly so it will be removed sometime this week. I had a PICC line inserted this afternoon for fluids and nutrients since I am still, after four weeks unable to keep anything down and am super dehydrated. This has not been a fun journey and although I know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel, I am ready for this to be over and to get back to living life. Four weeks out of work, I am going broke and I thank God for insurance but worry about how much will be covered.

They need to give you meds for nausea. I had the sleeve done 4 weeks ago and I've been throwing up on and off sense then. Even just Water. But the nausea pill does help.

I too was admitted again last weekend to the hospital with dehydration. I'm feeling better, but I fluctuate between phase 1 and phase 2.

Just take it slow

I am on nausea medications but at this point, nothing is really helping. It's terrible!

My mother was having similar problems earlier this year that ended up being her gall bladder. When her gall bladder was removed, the problem cleared up immediately. I hope yours does as well.

Had my gallbladder removed last Thursday and am doing much better! Dr released me from the hospital Monday. The hardest thing is making sure I get enough fluids in daily. It's Popsicles and Gatorade for me for a while...

I have a follow up appointment with him tomorrow and am hoping he says I can return to work on Monday. Five weeks out of work now, no good. And next week is only a three day work week so I should be good to go. Thanks for all the concern! Hopefully this will put a stop to my sickness.

Glad to hear you're doing better at last - you've had a tough time. Hope you feel strong enough to go back to work next week - lucky it's just three days.

No, he didn't prescribe that. Oh well, no going back now! It's gone. And I'm glad it's gone cause I'm not sick anymore to the point of not keeping anything down at all.

      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!!
