Horrible first 3 days



Recommended Posts

I had my surgery Tuesday may 19. I had absolutely no pain.. But the nausea I experienced felt like death! I had to stay in the hospital 3 days bcs I couldn't keep anything down aND I could barely move my head without feeling dizzy. I know I've heard people talk about the nausea but I never ever thought it could be that bad!

I'm not any help because I've really experienced zero nausea. I'm now 17 days out. However, my Dr. Said ppl who get nauseous tend to do better. I'm sure it will subside. I'm sorry ur not feeling well :-(

Sorry for the rough time. Do you have anti nausea meds? Zofran/companizine/---you can get Zofran in disintergrating pills and compazine comes in suppository form if you cannot get meds down. I sympathize with you. I wont get into details from my sleeve in 2012 (you can find my threads) but it is likely due to anesthesia...let it work thru and follow your doctor instructions.....hang in there. you can do this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! the rx can really help. sometimes our bodies just do not like the surgical process. sip sip sip!

I was sleeved on 5/14/15 and like you I had nausea the first two days. I was so relieved they kept me in hospital an extra day because they kept me on IVs and the nurses were there every four hours with a shot of Zofran. after 24 hours of that, I could keep down Water and the feeling went away. I never actually threw up, but I was scared if I started to I might mess up the surgery.

Thank goodness that only lasted a bit, and I haven't been nauseous since!

Hang in there!

They were giving me a rotation of 3 medicines and finally it all came together! I'm just sooo thankful that I have finally passed that stage. Thanks everyone ! !

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
