I had my surgery at 10am. It's now 1am next day and I'm in pain and can't sleep and keep having to spit out spit to stop myself throwing up. Please let me know I'm not the only one who's been like this and it got better :( :(

It will get better. The day following my surgery I vomited all day! No matter what I had. It was the worse thing ever. But that was the one and only day. Just make sure you are taking your anti nausea medication even if it is a little before you should to try to get in front of it. And keep trying to drink ( which I know is externally hard).

Thank you so much for replying. I'm not allowed to drink the first day. I've had nausea meds but every time I move I start needing to throw up. Have a puke bag full of spit.its so bad and I can't sleep. Have to pick between sick or pain. I wonder if changing my pain medication helps. I hope I can sleep soon :(

Well, During the day of hell :wacko: I personally did not take any pain medication. Even though I was in pain I thought it would only make it worse for me. So what I did do was take some liquid Tylenol the kind you find OTC it is for Adults and it is red in color. That helped sooooo much with the pain and I only had to take about a total of 4 pain pill my whole recovery. I had an outpatient surgery sleeve, an hernia repair and I was able to manage on the liquid Tylenol. Maybe that will provide some relive. Are you at home? or still in the hospital? The know sleeping will last a few days. Just try to take as many little naps as you can your body does need the rest.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
