how can i stop from throwing up i am literally praying to god to help me not throw up im not even sure why i feel like this i just woke up like this totally sick to my stomach! its very scary i dont know what to do

Are you actually throwing up or you just feel like you need to? Call your surgeon and ask what you can take for nausea.

You should call you surgeon and ask for an anti naseau medication. I used it for about 2 weeks after surgery and it really helped. Good luck.

Don't discount the possibility that you could have a good old fashioned BUG of some kind. But do get some anti-naursea meds from your doctor if you can. This is not a time to be barfing.

im 3.5 weeks out of my surgery i felt very dizzy sick to my stomach the first 2 or 3 days or so but then i was fine i feel better tonite but still feel a little pucky i had a tooth pulled today also so that could be part of it tonite! just wanna feel normal again !

If your physical self is 100% a tooth pulling isn't much to go through, but if you are NOT 100%, it can wreck havoc on you physically. That's what has happened. Your internal stores are depleted and you were trying to pull from reserves you did NOT have in the first place.

did you get some pain and anti-nausea medication? that might help. also--what are you eating?? maybe you should stick to very soft, liquid-y foods--and chicken Soup is always good!

hope you feel better soon!

im still on liquids unfortunetly , on thursday i start my mushys i cant wait! actually im going on 5 weeks not 4 i get confused it seems like it been so long i lose track of time lol! i do feel a little better today so lets hope!i just want to feel normal i knew this would be hard but i never new the toll it would put on my overall body now today i started my period so ya im just as peachy as can be lol! lol i need is a broken bone and ive covered all the bases ! beware people who are having this surgery done TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF AFTER OR YOU WILL END UP LIKE ME! drink drink drink drink your water eat your protein and take your vitamins im starting to sound like my mother now but i just underestimated this whole surgery! i am glad i did it though i must say with everything now that has happened im still on board and glad i did it! 16 lbs down make it all worth it all! Good LUCK THANKS FOR ALL THE ENCOURAGEMENT ALL!!!!! GOD BLESS

That seems to be a long time on fluids? Is that what your doctor wants you to do? It's just that most people on here are on the fluids for 2 weeks and then mushies after that. No doubt you are probably feeling weak and as mentioned, going to the dentist would not have helped matters. I'm only new to this so unfortunately I can't advise you on much. Hope you feel better soon.

SADES thats what i thought too ! but ya 1-2 weeks clear liquids 3-4 weeks fulls liquids! 5-6 mushies after that very limited food intake from weeks 6-9 its making me crazy and weak im counting the days! till i can chew something i miss it! your bruising will go away after about a week you will notice the swelling and that will be where you notice your weight loss first is in your upper belly area! my incisions and port sight pain went away really quick and had little problems with that even from the start ! I had 3 c-sections so i guess i was prepared it was more the weakness extremely low blood pressure lack of fluid anemia and im fricken starving to death that has almost killed me! but it is worth it now i just want to feel better ! ALL my friends are like you still look horrible im like oh great thanks!i guess i look weak and pale ! so ya its all good ! take care

So true Jamie.. even though I haven't had surgery previously, the fact that you can't even eat after this one is what probably makes some of us weak. I have been lucky in some ways because I don't feel weak... the medical staff commented on how good I look considering I had just come out of surgery. Mine is more the pain and the not keeping some meds down. The doctor told me to keep off the diabetes tablet for a week because my sugar should be fine since I am not eating... that one was the main culprit. I also threw after taking pain killers so he said to go on a liquid version. I had one lot of that last night but haven't needed it since. Hopefully that's a good sign. I think it's going to be hard for a while but I guess we can only go one day at a time.

your right day by day! normally you should feel alot better by 5-7 days post op i had alot of complications that most people dont so i think if you give it a week you will feel alot better!!!!

I hope so. I woke up at 5am today and even though I haven't had much sleep in the last 3 days, I can't seem to get back to sleep. I think I'm just feeling tense about it all. No doubt will relax again after a few more days.

Jaime, don't feel bad, I have the same schedule as you. @ weeks clear fluids and 2 weeks full fluids. Your pain meds may be causing your nausea. Have them give you some Zofran, it will knock it right out. The zofran ODT will dissolve right in your mouth

is that zofran for nausa ? i havent taken any pain meds at all except tylenol extra strength so i dont think it would be that it might just be the mixture of a horrible tooth maybe a little viral thing a little bit of loose stool and upset stomach i dont know! anyways how are you feeling only 2 days post op patty?

sades i haven't slept good since my surgery i dont know why maybe cause i had so many problems anexiety im not sure what but i need some good sleep i know that ! lol
