Yeah I was using Zofran for a few days post surgery. I also was using/sniffing rubbing alcohol. It was what my nurse at the hospital was using on me to help combate the nausea. It actually worked. When I was feeling like I was about to puke, I would sniff the cotton ball with Alcohol and be able to stop myself. Hugs to you, as this will get better.

Also, if you start puking and can't stop, get to the hospital. The quickest was to suffer from sever dehydration is by unstoppable vomiting.

I will be two weeks on Monday and I am still on full liquids. Next phase is purees/baby food. I try straying and it wasnt good. Give your system a chance to heal. Follow you doctors instructions, you'll be eating other things so enough. Try to concentrate on getting in you Protein.

I am 3-1/2 months postop and doing great. I still cannot tolerate eggs but I was never a real egg person prior to surgery. My most severe issue following surgery was nausea and it was very bad to the point where all I was really consuming was Water. I couldn't tolerate anything not even the Protein Drinks. But now I'm doing great. I've lost 82 pounds to-date and couldnt be any happier. Even with the extremely tough start of this new life, I couldn't be happier now. I still eat very little (approx) half a cup but I get full with that and am very happy watching the weight fall off....u too will reach this point as well! Hang In there!!

Wow!!! That is awesome!!! 82 lbs in 3 and half months!! If you don't mind me asking what was your starting weight and which surgery surgery did you have?

@@LoveAlwaysKia,

Congratulations on your surgery!

I hope you’re feeling better by now, but if not…asking your surgeon/doctor for a prescription for an anti-nausea medication can help.

In the meantime, do everything you can to get in some fluids. They’re really important. You can end up in the emergency room if you get dehydrated. It’s really hard to get your fluids down, but they’ll help you get over the nausea – and any other unpleasant surgery effects – way faster.

Good luck!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
