Drank juice and now can't stop throwing up

Help? Should I go get checked out?

I'm 2 weeks post op and both my mother and I mis-read and understood that I could have juice.

The second I drank it, not even 15 minutes later I was running to throw it up, and have been throwing up every 5-6 hours since.

Not sure if this is something that will pass or if I should go get checked out. Any advice?

It should pass but call your dr. It is probably due to all the sugar in juices. I hope you feel better soon!

My nutritionist did not say I could drink juice but while I was in the hospital they kept giving and offering me juice. Also, my nutritionist said only liquids for 4 weeks but in the hospital they gave me applesauce and my surgeon told me to eat applesauce? I don't know? A lot of mixed messages.

I am sorry you are going through this.
