Vomitting

My surgery was yesterday after being discharged. I started vomiting and it hasn't stopped since. I've used Phenergan and Zofran maybe.

Is it normal to be vomiting this much?

I'd contact the hospital or your surgeon and let them know what's going on.

How has your fluid intake been? Are you sipping? If so, are you going to fast (more than 1 oz every 15 minutes)? I was very nauseous in the hospital as well and I quickly learned that it was because I wasn't really heeding the pace guidelines. I also made the mistake of taking the morphine when my pain was very manageable without it.

The pain meds contributed significantly to my nausea. About the third day home I just gave up on the pain meds and pushed through. Only the biggest incision caused any trouble. The Zofran tab behind my ear helped calm the nausea.

Definitely call your doctor asap.
