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 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... :(
