Post op day 4 vomiting

I just threw up for the first time after surgery and it was so violent and painful I feel like my stomach ripped apart. Is that normal?

    Sorry to hear this. According to my nutritionist, vomiting is not normal. Was there something that precipitated it? Circumstances? I had vomiting for weeks and could try to help. Call your doctor’s exchange if after hours. GL!

    The vomiting would have been more painful because of all the strained abdominal muscles you have from the surgery & the sutures & staples. Definitely contact your surgeon to ensure there is nothing untoward causing you to vomit. Were you given anti nausea meds in the meantime?

    How are you doing today?

    I have not thrown up since that one bout Friday. I feel it was brought on by eating jello too fast. I havent had jello since because it doesnt seem appetizing now, of course. Im a little better every day. REALLY looking forward to the pureed/soft phase.
