Post-Vomiting Stomach Sensitivity



Recommended Posts

Not sure it's the best title, but I couldn't think of how else to phrase it.

On Sunday, I had an allergic reaction to a bee sting (I'm a beekeeper) and as I learned, vomiting can be part of the allergic reaction. There was nothing in my stomach, but that didn't seem to stop my stomach from trying to expel itself from my body. It went on for quite a while before it stopped. Now, I find that my stomach is extra sensitive. I can't eat as much as normal and it just doesn't seem happy with anything I put in it. It's nothing extreme, I just can tell nothing is sitting well. I'm not surprised after what it went through on Sunday, but I was wondering if anyone else has had this kind of post-vomiting sensitivity, and how long it may have taken for it to ease up? I can eat and drink, so I am not terribly worried. I have not vomited post surgery, so this is new territory for me and am trying to get a sense of what to expect.

My surgery center said that after we have an episode of vomiting we should drink only Clear Liquids for about 24 hours, or until the vomiting/nausea subsides. I was throwing up a lot from my Multivitamin but my stomach was fine after I threw up the multivitamin. You might reach out to your surgery center, but you could try resting your stomach? Did you take anything like benadryl after the bee sting reaction? I wonder if that would help/hurt.

Thanks for this. I was in the ER for a few hours and they administered Benadryl, steroids, etc. I'm back to normal from the reaction, I just think my poor sleeve went through some drama. I'll try to take it easy and eat light items. If it persists even with rest I'll check in with the surgery center.

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
