Ok I am 3 days post op from my gastric sleeve and this sucks! That's all I have to say right now and I know it gets better. It is actually getting better everyday but it still sucks.

I am at 5 days out and been very nauseated and anything I drink hurts going down. I hope this improves

I am still in the hospital(surgery was 12/16/14.I wish I wouldn't have had all three surgeries at one time. I am having pure hell! Nausea, vomiting (minimal thank God), and intense pain. I looked at all my op sights and I am covered with staples instead of dermabond, which is weird because he always uses glue. I can't drink either without sharrrrp pains in the mid epigastric area. Not sure he will let me go home tomorrow either.

Strawberry, it will improve. I had awful nausea they switched my medication to a patch and it made me dingy but it helped a lot more than Zofran. Hang in there!

Okie,

Hang in there, the nausea will get better. I promise. Sip sip sip to keep hydrated. Let us know when you get to go home, hope it's soon.

Take care and in a few days you will fell a lot better.

Is the hurting when you drink liquids from repair of the hernia ?

I'm not sure honestly, but it is horrendous pain.

I am having the exact same problem.

Please don't forget that all post-op recovery is just a blip in the radar of our lives. Life without sleep apnea, high cholesterol, diabetes, low-energy, and on and on and on. Recovery is just the start of a fantastic new life.

Peace be with you!

That's the truth what a difference in having sleep apnea before then after, it's like night and day.

Still having that intense pain after I swallow right between my boobs. It hurts so so so bad & I get it every time I drink.

Try standing up when you drink. My Doc compared it to an hour glass. We need gravity to get the fluids down. I still have the pain if I drink too much or too fast. Standing up really helps.

I've tried everything. Nothing helps. Popsicles don't cause pain, that's the only thing I have found.

Stick with Popsicles. This too shall pass.

The pain is still there so my surgeon started me on protonix daily to see if it would help. He assured me it was just because I had all three surgeries at once. I have found that yogurt and popsicles feel decent and creamed Soup (ie: tomato).. although I can only take a couple bites of each at most.

My staples are driving me crazy today. I have 24 on varies areas of my belly/sides and they are itching like CRAZY! Of course it hurts to touch them, so I endure it and keep thinking ... This too shall pass.

Hope everyone else is doing well! MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

Yep! It sucks!
