I am 51 years old, highest weight 410 weight at surgery 364. Had gastric sleeve at Kaiser. Was released day after surgery with only 22 hours of IV and pain pump. First night and first day home was tough. Severe vomiting reaction to tiny sips of Water or meds. Worst reaction is to the liquid norco pain killer. Also taking Pepcid mylanta chews and odansetron 8mg for nausea or vomiting but does not seem to help. No where near 64 oz of Water today and zero Protein shakes. Help.

It was pretty hard to get the Water down the first couple of days for me, too...in fact I don't think it was until day 6 or 7 that I was getting between 50-60oz down a day (that included Protein shakes). You've got a lot of inflammation, it sounds like. Overnight and release the next day is pretty standard with sleeve, unless they feel you have serious complications - but that means a leak in the staple line or something like that.

The Protein shakes count toward Water, so what I would focus on is just working on Protein Shakes all day long. Not straight water. Small sips and give yourself a break between them. SMALL sips. Like, 1/8th of your mouthful. Take a sip every couple minutes. If it makes your stomach hurt, you're doing it too often. You just have to take it real easy and real slow, because your stomach has suffered a HUGE trauma, during this surgery. You will heal MUCH more quickly if you are getting sufficient Protein, so make that your focus with every single drink you take every day. That's THE MOST important thing, this week. Protein. Also...when you feel tired, sleep. That's when your body repairs itself.

Also, if the Norco is bothering you, see if you can get a prescription for Tylenol with Codeine in liquid form, if you can. Might be easier for you to use.

Other than all that...walk. Walk as much as you can, to get the surgical gas out. You'll feel a lot better.

End of day 3 post op, still hard but much better, got off pain meds, made me want to vomit just looking at bottle. Had my niece put it away so I can't see it. The medicine for Nausea and vomiting is sickening sweet. Trying to put in my mouth with Protein shake crushed ice mix. Increased Water a lot but still no where near 64 ounces, Protein Shake maybe 6 ounces today. Thinking about getting IV to catch up on fluids.

I am4years out and still can't drink 64 oz. I just carry Water with me at all times. And I hate eating. That was always my vice but now I go days without eating. Lean shakes from GNC are good. I have to mix half with milk because I don't like sweets. It will take some time to adjust.

Hi Bill0565,

I am 3 days post op and have had the exact same issues you mentioned. My doc wanted me to have 6oz of liquid every hour and I just laughed because there was no way. I actually had to stay in the hospital an extra day longer than normal because my Fluid intake wasn't enough and I was so nauseated. I was way too nauseous and it hurt way too much to drink. However today was the first day I could start drinking a little more. It does seem to improve with each day. I'm still on Clear liquids for another week so no Protein shakes for me yet, but I can have Protein Water.

We can do it!!!!

      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?
