4 Days Post Op Problem



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone, I had gastric bypass on March 8. I did great inthe hospital no nausea or vomiting. I had broth, jelloIsopure and ice chips. The doc said to add Protein Shakes when I got home. I came home Thursday, that evening I had one Premier Protein shake and later 1 oz Jello. I was fine able to take all meds. Yesterday I got up drank a shake too some meds a few hours later had jello and took pain pill with jello. I then got the worst pain under my breast bone and down front left side and was nauseated. It took about 45 till I vomited all the jello and pain pill. I felt somewhat better but not much. Four hours later I tried more jello and pain pill I vomited all up. I was and have been in so much pain since yesterday and my stomach is making all sorts of noises. I feel nauseated and full up to the back of my throat. I'v only had sips of Water today and they make it worse. I called the dietician, she said to go back to ice chips and I have since yesterday..not helping And no pain med since yesterday morn. Can you advise?

You should call your doctor. Maybe you can't handle the pill form yet. When I was discharged I got liquid pain meds.

yeah, call your doctor's office. I had to crush all my meds and could only drink sips of stuff at a time - but you can't be throwing up all the time - you will get dehydrated. Your doctor's office should have someone to call even after hours.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
