I got sleeved a few days ago and now I cannot hold down anything. No water or sugar free drinks or popsicles or broth and definitely not protein. I am on about day 8 of clear liquids and still have until the 28th to be on clears. Does anyone have any tips on how I can stop throwing up every thing and get some strength back. I return to work in about 6 days but I dont think it would be safe given I have fainted upon standing twice now. Anyone else have these problems? Ugh [emoji40] [emoji24] [emoji27]

You definitely need to call your surgeon if you haven’t already. Fainting is not normal and could be dangerous depending on what is causing it (could be severe nutritional deficiency, blood pressure etc - but not normal).

You should be able to hold down liquids, so want to get that checked out. Nausea meds could help, but you could have something else going on. If nothing else they can do an IV to get you back hydrated and that might help everything else.

I feel so weak and wobbly then out of nowhere I will be on the floor with my ears ringing. I am supposed to see him on Thursday and really dont want another ER bill. Today I have managed 8oz of mio water, 2 oz of skim milk and 3oz of plain water. I have sit super still not to regurgitate everything. Is it possible this will just stop after the first week

Hate to tell you, but if you are passing out you at least need to call them and tell them. Likely you need to be at the ER. If its a blood pressure thing or certain nutrition deficits you could be risking your life... don’t mess around. I’ve come close to fainting a few times myself and my surgeon said if I did I needed to call immediately.
