I am 4 days post-op and had no problems until today. I have felt like I have a lot of air in my stomach since the operation. I've been taking in liquids - protein shakes, juice, etc. in moderation. 7 to 8 hours ago I had a yogurt smoothie and 1/2 hour later started to PB. I have had nausea and have been vomiting up clear substance (sliming). The only way to find relief is to stand up straight. If I sit and recline at all it starts all over again. I'm going to call my doctor as soon as possible -- but has anyone had this experience? The smoothie or no food has come up.

Stick to clear liquids only (very small sips) until you can reach your Dr.

For me the first week was hell. I had nausea until I stopped taking the pain medicine.

Did you have dry heaves? Vomit any clear substance?

Thank you all for your help. I ended up having to go to the ER this morning. I went into a dry heave fit every 5 minutes like clockwork. They gave me anti-nausea meds and an IV. Did some X-rays and everything looks OK. Doc says it could be anything from stomach virus to ulcers to stomach acid. Gave me a script for the anti-nausea stuff and some liquid Pepcid. Feel better although I feel like I got hit by a truck again. Hope this might help someone in the future. I have to admit sometime around the 15th time I was hunched over the toilet I thought to myself "geez, if only you had eaten a few less nachos we wouldn't be here". But the biggest lesson I learned was not to panic and keep a sraight head. Thanks guys

OUCH.

You handled this very well. Keep us posted on how things are going for you.
