Day 5 post op

I had my surgery on Monday and am still throwing up. The only thing I can drink are tiny sips of water and 1/3 sugar free Popsicle. I have only been able to drink 4-8 ounces of water in a day and can't keep it all down. Did anyone else have this problem and how long did it last?

  • I don't really have any pain just the nausea. Doc sent me to hospital for 2 bags of fluid and a banana bag. I feel a little better. Now I need to try and get some protein in.

The doc gave me 2 meds for nausea, one for stomach spasms and one for stomach protection. They help a little but I continue to throw up/dry heave. Every day is a little better but I'm worried about dehydration.

Me too. How is your pain? ?

My pain is a constant 8-9'''

glad you went to see the Doctor

I got the surgery 10days ago and I have Not experienced nausea at all that definitely sounds like a problem... Your doctor can prescribe you nausea meds but it seems like your body is reacting to the change... Were you on a liquid diet prior to surgery and if so for how long?

I had no nausea at all I had a patch for 72 hrs and nausea medicine, but I have yet to vomit. Actually I feel pretty good I do still get stomach spasms. .

I had severe nausea for 2 weeks. They tried me on 5 different meds in the hospital and none of them worked. I was very sick but my surgeon wasn't worried. He said that even though it wasn't usual, he had seen enough cases that he wasn't worried. He was more concerned that I was keeping down enough fluid. I only started to feel better when I forced myself to have some Protein drinks. Now I feel 100%.
