Hi everyone. I had my sleeve yesterday and I'm not tolerating any fluids. Feeling nauseous. The pains are so bad. They only giving me 30ml of water every hour but I haven't done more than 60ml. I have been walking but just not coping. Any advice

Don't hesitate to take pain meds! Ask for something for the nausea. It'll get better.

are you still in the hospital or home? Please know these are the worst days. Sip your water and hobble/walk. Do a lap or two around your house/room and then rest. The gas that was blown into your abdomen during the surgery is still there, your stomach is recovering from it's trauma.

Are you alone or do you have someone with you? Did you go through any pre-op sessions that discuss your condition post surgery?

You are not alone! I just hit 3 weeks post op. My first two weeks were hell. I had a horrible time taking fluids and I constantly felt sick. Every day gets better! I came on this site often and it helps so much. Everyone is so kind and reassuring. It got me through some hard times, now I'm feeling good and down 17 lbs since surgery , good luck! ?

No sessions at all, just a consult. Went on a pre-op liquid diet of only clear liquid for a week. My hubby came the last two days but needs to get back to work. Not sure when they going to discharge me.

Thank you hun it does make me feel better

I am going through the same. My surgery was 6/2, and I had a rough time of it. I couldn't tolerate fluids, I was gagging and wretching. I was in the hospital for 3 nights. Today is the first day I am feeling decent. I still have some nausea, but am keeping liquids down now. I feel a little better each day, I hope you do too [emoji173]️

Ask for zofran for nausea, mylacon (yes baby med) for gas pain. I was bout the same way first 3 days...I was even throwing up...after it passed I feel much much better I am 8days out now. It will be ok I promise.

They have been giving me emitino but I prefer zofran really helped during my pregnancy [emoji173]️

Update - I'm going to be discharged tomorrow. They gave me some fresh juice (orange and mango mix) and it stayed down. They removed my IV and drip (is that the same thing I don't know) anyway, I walked a lot today and got so tired I slept for 2 hours. Did any of you had your incisions stapled? Did it hurt when they removed it on the 10th day?

They gave me Pepcid at the hospital, I had a patch behind my ear for nausea since surgery day. Hang in there we are gonna make it!!! I'm thinking about going to the pharmacy and buying the patches for home!
